Not a hoax! Not a dream! One of our all time favorite guests we ever had on the ol' Hypothetical Island was the amazing Phil Jimenez. Next week we have a BRAND NEW episode featuring this uber-talented artist and writer, but we referenced his original appearance so much we felt it was wise to trick, uh, offer you all an opportunity to hear it again.  And if you didn't hear it the first time, well, it's new to you now! And come back next week for the all new part 2
