Sisyphus: Mildly Disgruntled

Elijah Nepomuceno (he/him) and Sam deal with seasonal allergies, mispronounce things, give shoutouts, compliment names, reference prior episodes, explain music theory concepts, jokingly advocate for major ethical violations, exist as vibes people, vocode, explore registral extremes, compliment Sam, philosophize and contemplate, and don't yearn (not necessarily both of them) (not necessarily in that order). Overall, a good time.
