How to describe this show?  Kinda of difficult to put into words.  Here it goes.  It has Rich, Matt, Bob and Kurt in it.  They start off discussing what they've been playing/watching lately.  After that they go deep into the Adult Swim rabbit hole.  Then I seem to remember a bunch of cross searches with imdb.com and Wikipedia.  It just got weird after that.  A strange, but fun journey.  Enjoy.
