In this minisode… boffing, neither Dre nor Mike get the term “Gambit” right but Mike has a better excuse because unlike Dre he is not an internationally ranked chess player, Mike doesn’t care and introduces Slater’s Gambit to the show, the boys briefly pivot to covering Happy Endings and The Knuckles Show, the creepy peeping peepers of a lizard man, short-cycle generation gaps, Dan stans the Psy Corp, the brothers compete to say their last name in a practice buzzer question, and Dre finally gets in the last word.

Once again, we have been stymied by streaming services that continually drop Babylon 5 from their platform. Both Tubi and Roku have let them go. The only place to stream Babylon 5 is with an Amazon account - but we strongly suggest looking for the DVDs at your library over giving Amazon more money. Or if you live near Dre or Mike, we'll likely loan you our copies.

In this minisode… Dirtbag Scott Adams, a long convoluted basketball note on bank shots, Shatner guards the log, more horrible ear talk, sitting through the ceremony until everybody is done, seriously we really can’t take these ears, and how telepaths dig into a person’s mind (brain shovel).
