How could the aliens have been contained in the facility? Is Mac from the moon? Mars? An asteroid? But most importantly, we discuss just would happen if Joe Don Baker was loose in a McDonald’s. A series of liquid and gas-filled bladders, super-human/sub-alien, Jeff tells us what’s the deal with rum; alien-based traumas; Joe as target audience; Jeff prob...
