This is Comic Geek Speak, episode 127.

Welcome to Comic Geek Speak.

I'm Brian Deemer.

I'm Jamie Dee.

I'm Peter Rios.

Oh, my God. You can only play the piano when you're drunk.

A competition. You're going to be my first champion. Oh, play that sad walking away song from The Incredible Hulk.

Look, look at me. If it's got a comic reference, it'll be played sooner or later.

Family guy is chuck full of them. God.

Yep.
