In the penultimate episode of "Stop the Bit," we look back—way back! In the beginning, the earth was formless and empty. And so the Lord @BennyBall said, “Let there be podcasts." And it was so. Then God said, "Let there be a firmament in the midst of the podcasts, to separate ads from entertainment." And God saw that it was good. And as for the iniquitous @RyanTheLeader, God spake to him, proclaiming: "Thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy splendor. I will cast thee to the ground!"
Elsewhere in the program: the boys compete in the hottest new game show, Ryan portrays the laziest Halloween party guest of all time, and Ben's McDonald's order WAS STOLEN!
