Our first discussion among co-hosts. Mike and Braden go over the celebrities - living or dead - who most influenced them on their life paths.

We have a Bonus episode for you!

The NFL Draft was recently held in Kansas City. Mike attended, and Braden met a few fans while doing Uber.

In today's episode, they both talk about their experiences. Mike quizzes Braden on the NFL's alignment. There is also some XFL talk.

Mike is a big fan of Japanese comedy, specifically the long-running (yet YouTube-kinda-scarce) variety show Gaki no Tsukai. Today he talks about it and why he likes it so much.

Today's interview is with Danny Fhantum and King Dari, who - along with our intrepid new co-host Braden - form the rap group Faded Mercury.
