Did you know the guy who made the new movie Unfrosted is the same guy who created The Marriage Ref? And also he apparently had a sitcom in the 90s and appeared on The Tonight Show doing stand-up comedy. This week we're talking about Jerry Seinfeld, a weird, rich misanthrope.

The Gameboy is 35-years-old this week so we’re taking a walk down memory lane to when we were both Gameboy Boys. We discuss the creator of the Gameboy, Gunpei Yokoi, and his wild ride from messing around making extendo hands to creating the 4th most popular video game system of all time. Also Tom explains what a cartridge is to Tim and they both really hate Tiger handhelds.
