The Bugle: Spready Mercury

Well isn't this exciting! After nearly five years John Oliver returns to The Bugle for a bumper edition!
I love the current roster of rotating co-hosts, but I agree that the chemistry they have ups the energy greatly. Glad to see that it still works! This was a nice treat.
Early mention of the possibility of a pun run lay there like Chekov's gun through the whole episode.

It was inevitable that Zaltzman would do a pun run.

He was morally obligated to do so.

John's LWT void is a multi-purpose void! I really enjoyed seeing the video of their recording.

Pun runs are all about the Joy-you'll No'el-evating your fellow man. Merry Christmas, all!

Oh I'm so glad I saw this post! My podcast listening is way down lately and I might have missed this episode.

Pendragon's video link is an excellent excuse justification reason to listen to this a second third fourth time.
LWT is an excellent show but the world is a worse place without the regular pairing of John and Andy.

I now wish for a retroactive video feed of John and Chris's reactions to all of Andy's previous pun runs. The full scope of dread and resignation can't be fully conveyed through audio alone.
