Sometimes on Battlecast, we try to pit two characters against each other that we've all always wondered who would come out on top in fisticuffs. And other times, we just want to see some super-powered elementary school kids duke it out against hardcore badasses and robots and such. This is #2. Well not THAT #2 but still maybe also. Battlerite is our battleground. Heh.

Warning: Drugs. Heh.

Dun-dun-dun-dunt SNAP SNAP. It's the Battle Familyyyyyy. Creepiest and kookiest family alive versus the Adams Family. And it all goes down in some MYSTERIOUS TOWN IN FRANCE IN 1955?! What does it all mean? Will we ever find out what disastardly deeds conspired? Will we ever get to the bottom of the enigma to end all enigmas? Will James ever find a cure for that rash? Hopefully not.

Well we somehow salvaged this audio, and we'll be back next week with a real episode. And Dirk had a really damn good joke in this one anyway so listen up.

Thanks, y'all.
