February 3, 2013 – It’s all new, but it’s just the same. Josh and Conor are joined by their new permanent co-host, who has brought more television metaphors than any same man would know what to do with.

November 18, 2012 – Just before departing to join the absent Conor for the most Eisner-iffic wedding celebration ever, Ron managed to record a show with Josh and our own Paul Montgomery.
