Summary

The last Patreon exclusive was recorded shortly after one of the show's biggest decisions was made: To call the show '80s All Over as opposed to the original title... "Klytus, I'm Bored."

1:02.8	Yep.
1:03.3	I was very insistent that Colitis on board would be a good title for this podcast.
1:09.0	And Drew liked it, but didn't love it.
1:10.5	And then I believe,
1:12.2	I think him and our illustrious producer came up with 80s all over. I think it's a great,

1:29.8	opening, it's, it's interesting because this is not a faithful adaptation by any definition,
