In This Episode, stuff is happening and we're atalkin' about it in the only way we know how, exhaustively, in depth, and with tangents aplenty, so yell at your neighbors to listen, gather round the internet radio yourself, and prepare for...fun? We update a topic from our recent .5, which somehow leads us to talking about TVs we owned, and maybe even just saw, 20 to 30 years ago (don't ask because we can't track it either), also cop chases and almost getting run down during them! We finally talk about the live-action Scooby-Doo series on Netflix, in detail, then we tackle our other favorite past time and talk about going to see Revenge Of The Sith again and dive into some good old Star Wars talk in this latest episode of your favorite wacky jacky...holes...just go with it!
