Summary

With Dan Telfer, Paul Rust, and Tony and the Thaxtones.

Recorded live at NerdMelt

Guests

Paul Rust, Dan Telfer, with a special appearance by Tony Thaxton, and the Thaxtones.

Notes

  • The guys recorded a huge backlog of shows while they were in L.A.
  • Origin of the "People hate toy talk" running joke.
    • Back in season 1, Pete's wife pointed out that she didn't have the toys growing up, and would zone out when the guys would talk about them, and maybe other people felt the same.
    • When Pete mentioned this on Twitter, people came out strongly in favor of the toys, but by then it had become a running gag.
  • Both our guests brought up the toys on their past appearances.
  • Dan would've liked to have been able to swear, but there was a kid right there in the front row.

The Jek Porkins Memorial Sexology

  • Debut of Tony and the Thaxtones. They play the theme live.
  • Our favorite Star Wars Toys.
