My dear sister, I have assured that no one will be listening to this podcast by staging a violent disagreement with my co-host in our last episode. The audio file you will find here was meant only for your ears.

Dear Listener, No doubt you have chosen to listen to this podcast under the impression that it portrays two friends having a lively discussion about something pleasant, like penguins, or those little balls they put in bingo machines.

Important questions: What makes a good think tank? Why does Tony only have one bit? How gay should sports anime be? Keep an ear out for Andy's low, breathy v...

After taking a week off for our season break--yes that's the reason I'm going with not that I just didn't get the editing done in time--Andy and Tony embark on another thrilling discussion.

What's Alan Tudyk up to? Keep an...
