Back then, Jon, Pete, Niko-Jon's son and the guy that welcomes you to each episode of the BIDS would chat for 3 hours. The magic they created in those sessions is what pushed them to think bigger and create the show you all know and love today. This episode happened because of a guest conflict...and we're all grateful that it did. Here's Jon and Pete at their best.
