Charley and Ella are joined by Tony Goldmark and David Ganssle of Escape from Vault Disney to mostly discuss "Weird Al" Yankovic and sort-of discuss the Gravity Falls episode "Dungeons, Dungeons and More Dungeons." We also talk our experiences with tabletop RPGs, Stanford's effect on the family dynamic, and the abject horror of the 90s.

DISCLAIMER: This episode was recorded and released prior to the revelations about & arrest of Kyle Carrozza, who did the instrumental music for this episode's theme song. We condemn Carrozza's actions and offer our deepest sympathies to his victims, and we have fully cut ties with him. That said, rather than attempt to rewrite history, we have decided to leave this episode online and intact as a time capsule of when it was made.
