Andy and Steve travel to a comic convention with sweaty results.

Andy and Steve return with another in-house episode and we talk about how nobody watches TV.  However what people will watch is Rob Lowe, Julia Louis Dreyfus and Arsenio Hall because they all look better in their 50's than their 20's.  In other news, Andy has bought a Playstation 3 and can finally play blu rays.  Finally we talk about how the Simpsons is funny again.

The Optimism Club Vol. 72 (I hate him)

Andy and Steve talk about the Walking Dead season 4 finale including the unshown story of Rick bullying the nerdy kid.  Also we talk about Arnold Schwartzenegger's tanking career…not that there's anything wrong with that.  Unfortunately the conversation moves to Adam Sandler and the hosts get depressed from the memories.

April is here and fools are in the air.  Steve has little to no respect for musicians but that is later in the podcast.  Up front the hosts talk about pregnant actresses, dumb Michiganders and Captain America 2: More Captain America.  After that Steve reviews the muppets and spoilers: he was disappointed.  Andy wore a band shirt and Steve dissed bands.  Make sure you note that Commissioner Gordon was about as dumb as Chief Wiggum in the old Batman movies.
