Join us this week as our Mystery Guest reacts in wonder to the news that Cope and VK can read! Also, the mystery guest was invited to try out for the Cincinatti Reds, which is an achievement, but also no one really likes the Cincinatti Reds, which is something that no reasonable person can dispute.

Be aware that there is a surprisingly in-depth discussion of the Star Wars Universe led by VK, which is the least surprising part of the surprising discussion. I need to check just how far in the male direction our audience demographics skew and maybe get a good discussion of Gilmore Girls going or something to try to bend the demographic curve back toward something like normal.

PRODUCER NOTE: This is actually the first episode where we legitimately used the language beep and there is one instance where a - as Stee would say - barnyard swear pops up, but given the context, I thought it was worth leaving (mostly) in. Just be forewarned.
