We also get a sneak peek into some future album releases, including Amber Bixby's Valentine's Day release Teen Mom!  We all get the fun history behind Sure Thing the show and Duncan shares with us how the move from one location as a free show to Fallout Theater as a paid show originally made him nervous, but ultimately has proved to be a continuing success as one of the Fallout Theater's flagship shows. And then we spend the rest of the time talking about Girl Scout cookies, Star Wars, Legos and a major lightbulb controversy breaks out (we're not kidding).   Duncan can be seen and/or heard:
