I can't get my damn pedal out of my crank arm for the life of me. I figured that since it's stripped it should be easy to get out, but all it does is spin and spin.

Is there some sort of magical fairy dust I need to use, or do I have to use a hacksaw?

You are not having the best luck as of late. What cranks are you using? Do they have an insert for the pedal threads?

We are all going to Jiminy next Sunday so I hope you get this and your Drlr sorted so you can go.

I have seen instances where a a pedal will not come out of a stripped crank because of where the threads stop on the pedal. There is a small gap between the threads and the part of the pedal that buts up on the crank. That gap gets hung up. What I have done is to remove the crank, cradel it in a vise, and use a ratchet (or just an allen) to apply pressure as I turn. The crank is so messed up that there are no crank threads left for the pedal to grab. With pressure, the pedal should grip and then turn out.
