Summary
Justin and Christian are back in the original studio this time around, and yes, the chair is still squeaky. They discuss how fun it was to finally introduce their little nephews to Muppets Take Manhattan and see it through their eyes. Then a hardcore Canadian Shortie admits she didn’t finish Breaking Bad and it blows Christian’s mind. But she makes up for it with a WYR about fighting 100 duck-sized horses or 1 horse-sized duck. Finally, they listen to a voicemail from Tom about his humorous plans for his epitaph and why he’d want music from Fleetwood Mac’s Tusk album at his funeral.
