In this episode Barry and Clay talk with Seldom Needy, a friend of Barry's and a long time member of the My Little Pony fan community. We talk about how we feel abut the show seven seasons in now, including a discussion of the MLP fandom, Barry and Seldom argue about whether you should worry about being stereotyped, and many MLP world building theories are discussed including a big showdown about whether Princess Celestia is actually a good ruler. If you're a kid don't listen its boring and go do your homework or something.
