Hola, Sneakers! This week on the show, Bob Mackey and Nina Matsumoto make a return visit to the dragons’ lair! Although we maintain that Bob needs no introduction, let us mention that he is the host of of such big-time podcasts as Talking Simpsons, What A Cartoon and Retronauts. As you will learn this episode, Bob is a big proponent of Patreon. You can find Talking Simpsons and its many spin off podcasts here, and go here to learn more about supporting Retronauts.

And Nina and Bob didn’t drop by just to drink beer, oh no; this week on the show: vocal fries; Dave turns Ian on; nice weather we’re having; revolving restaurants; perfect murders; the 999 controversy; trivial Simpsons experts; bar trivia night; pinball rivalry; personal podcast histories; visiting Conan; the excitement of Mayomust; the non-excitement of Canadian food; California split; safe travels; belief, cognitive dissonance and the flat Earth; the monetary value of everything; promoting yourself; we’re positive; Ricky Gervaise humiliates himself; the awful truth; almost a pun – try “Dogsvadanya”, Dave; and, finally, not with a bang, but a whimper.

And who was this 999 band Dave was talking about? Here they are, promoting murder in empty fields and on desolate bridges:
