Miss the World Cup? Us too, but what if we told you there was one more tournament this summer, packed with all the excitement, drama and unexpected twists you’ve grown to expect over the last 30 days? OK, and what if there was another tournament, and that one was about cups?

Writer and Director Mary May jumps right in as a guest who, by her own admission, doesn't know much about soccer but loves a good cup, as giants from the world of cups gather for a 16 round winner takes all showdown of the century culminating in an epic shocker of a final between practicality and whimsy.

The matchups start off exactly as you’d expect, the classics, cup of coffee vs cuppah tea, peanut butter cup vs cupcake, but as the tournament continues, the action devolves into abject chaos. Will Princess Buttercup from The Princess Bride have to answer to a $4 Egg Cup from QVC? What even is an Egg Cup? Anything can happen in the World O’ Cups!

Also covered: Dylan's entrance to her wedding via the Liverpool theme song, Hollywood Bowl shuttle logistics, Marin’s ongoing quest for Clark Griswold's exact Tasmanian Devil mug from Christmas Vacation, and an important PSA about backup cameras.

We know Mary. But we barely know her.

Special thanks to friend of the show, the great Spencer Watson @spencerlwatson for introducing the inaugural tournament in true World Cup final fashion.

Some guests you prepare for. Some guests you barely have to.

Howy Parkins has stories. Stories about unexpected celebrity encounters at The Simpsons studio in the 90s. Stories about being a cable repairman in Canada in January. Stories about driving 120 miles an hour on the Autobahn to see the Ramones in a snowstorm. Stories about learning the importance of animation timing from Looney Tunes legend, Chuck Jones

Animation director, layout artist and quietly one of the most interesting people in Burbank, Howy has worked on Who Framed Roger Rabbit, The Simpsons, Rugrats, Recess, Hey Arnold and basically everything animated you love. He also plays bass, restores classic cars, builds catios (cat patios) and is the reason Matt has a running club to go to on Saturday mornings.

Also covered: Blue raspberry, the origins of Boysenberry, scented markers as a gateway drug, Saturday morning routines, and the importance of having your own TV in your room in the 90s.

We know Howy. But we barely know him.

Fake guests, secret emails, imported pig shaped gummy candy. This one has it all.

In their most blissfully chaotic episode yet, Dylan and Marin have (lovingly)conspired to surprise Matt with a special mystery guest for his birthday. Having fully prepared for animation legend Howy Parkins, Matt’s brain explodes when it’s revealed that even their production meetings were just a smoke screen.

Equally surprised and delighted is actual guest Scott Gairdner, comedy writer, director, creator of Moonbeam City, and host of the beloved theme park podcast Podcast the Ride.

Topics include: Big things in small spaces phobias, the mythology of City Walk, Casa Bonita, nostalgic snacks, and will Howy ever actually be a guest or was that all just a cunning ruse to keep Matt guessing?

We know Scott. But we barely know him.
