Happy New Year! To start off 2019 right, we brought in best-friend-of-the-show Julian McKenzie (@jkamckenzie) to talk New Year's resolutions, making big life choices, and what would happen if Tim Allen was in The Avengers!

This episode is a WILD RIDE. Someone asked us to talk about what happens when a dead pimp gets elected to congress, so Tom talks too much about The West Wing for a bit. We also get into movies about talking animals, gelatinous tunics, and, somehow, Jay Baruchel.

Those people would be wrong. Also, the d...

Fun Fact: about two hours after this recording ended, Tom and Teffer were like 90% sure they'd be having a baby that night. Spoiler alert: They were right! Shoutout to little Toby, born November 2nd at 2:19 PM. He is small and fat and barrel-chested and perfect, and you should be extremely jealous that you aren't currently touching his very soft shoulders. You'll definitely hear him screaming fain...
