Good morning, afternoon, and evening! Remember, remember, the 5th of November... which was yesterday. Can't be that hard to remember yesterday, right?

AND DUEL TO THE DEATH- just kidding, they have a lighthearted debate over pieces of n...

Good morning, afternoon, and evening! Bo and Gibby are back and they're talking about ANIME. And it's not just any anime, it's FLCL! What is that? Good question! What's the story? Beats me! Can you explain anything? Nope! All you need to know is that the Rickenbacker 4001 Bass Guitar has many uses beyond rock and roll. Side note: aliens exist. But just think about the bass and...
