Episode 4: Too many topics to succintly summarise in one podcast title

Bret watches Terrace House. It's weird. Glen watches Frank. It's weird. People are wrongly referred to as Characters, twice. There's a Zone of Adventure. And, of course it's not the police, it's magicians! But Glen's dad did NOT write a Porno. Or at least, he doesn't think he did. Then we talk tech. Then we talk Youtube. And Netflix. We bounce around a bit in this one. Bret's gonna post out a Rock.

Episode 3: Facebook Ruined the Podcast

Bret shows his lack of knowledge. Marvel UK is appreciated. Facebook sabotages. Movies get discussed. And Netflix libraries are confusing. Disney gets exiled. Or maybe not. Currency. There are a lot of Sonic Characters.

Episode 2: A cat, a card game & Evil Dead.

Recommendations are ignored. Pets don't make noises. Pokemon go. Rules are nearly broken in the aftershow. Friendship blossoms. Board games recur. Glen's tattoo (based on a design by Kate Leth): http://imgur.com/hQJ37rG Glen's cat: http://imgur.com/1ZIHbE7 Bret's dog: http://imgur.com/PgdfXtH

Episode 0(1?): Laying down some ground rules.

Two strangers chat about stuff. They slowly become friends. The concept of spoilers is debunked. Dan Harmon is mentioned. Recommended listening speed is 1.7x.
