We weren't able to record together this week, so instead, we decided to give you a little peak inside of Rob's life. How he got into theatre, the many, many ballsy moves he made along the way, and some of his hopes for the future. We hope this isn't too self-indulgent :D

Zach Erhardt died in a fiery plane crash a few episodes ago, but that doesn't mean he can't be here in-studio for an interview! Hear all about his life before his fiery explosive death, and a bit about what he's been doing since he died.

This week - something a little different.

Wow. 20 episodes!!! We can hardly believe it. Thanks to everyone who has stuck with us so far!

For this episode, we wanted to give you a glimpse into how Rob became the idiot we all know and love. Hear all about his home town, his childhood, and how he fell into theatre (Hint: it has something to do with ladies and attention).
