We finally get to talk about one of our favorite movies of all time: THE BIG LEBOWSKI!!!

Hope you enjoy listening to this one as much as we did making it.

February 16, 2023 A.I. EP. 188: “You’re My Boy, Blue!” - Old School 20th Anniversary
The film that gave us Frank the Tank, the term “earmuffs”, and shone a light on the fact that Vince Vaughn is a comedic treasure, has just turned 20 years old. Old School has been a favorite of ours since it came out back in 2003. We brought back Rob’s friend from when he was in Kindergarten, Timmy St.Sauver. We hope you enjoy this one! Bring your green hat!
