great to see Jones. Miss him on Easy Allies but happy for him and the family!

[@MichaelROLeary]

Love to see a Jones appearance.

[@tylerotten]

Greg and Brandon's great Ferris Bueller reference @31:19 just zips right past everyone. Greg set him up, and he knocks it down, but nobody else noticed. I SEE YOU BRANDON!

[@BOTCHED]

Always good to see Jones, dude is a legend of the industry.

[@Godwave_]

I love when Greg brings the energy in the first 2 minutes of the KFP lol

[@crosvale7829]

Andy just unlocked a memory for me with the AR tests in elementary school. I also won personal pan pizzas from those! Can't believe I forgot about that. Lol

[@samburriss]

BRANDON JONES!

[@mattsmith6190]

Nicks parents and their night time snacking sounds EXACTLY like my parents life 😂

[@Zonkar430]

Man, I really hope Brandon does an audio book reading for this project.

[@TrooperSixtyFour]

he already has!

[@Zonkar430]

@@TrooperSixtyFour Whoa! that's sick, i'll check it out! Thanks

[@withdrawnbook]

Andy alluded to it briefly, but Arnold Lobel was a closeted gay man which is why Frog and Toad were "friends." Couldn't sell books about gay amphibians back then. Also, as a librarian, I never thought I'd hear a discussion about Mercer Mayer and Richard Scarry on this of all podcasts.

[@furrybproductions]

The loom was a major plot point in the movie Wanted. I'm surprised Andy doesn't remember it.

[@2Wheel360]

I remember reading The Great Brain back in the late 1980s-early 1990s at our school library. It had a lot of similarities to characters from the Tom Sawyer stories. This was a series of books and I enjoyed them immensely. Blew my mind that Greg would bring this book up. I haven't read it since I was a kid but I've always remembered it.

[@CheefChaos]

Great Brain has a whole nother meaning nowadays

[@lrrafferty]

Holy shit Andy unlocked a long buried memory with the accelerated reader testing

[@satwood5561]

When I was little, I gave myself a swirly for a bag of skittles that I never got.

[@s___e___b___72]

I like you guys being at the hosts table. You guys have the Studio podcast energy

[@thedinardi]

I'd like Tim (and the whole crew) to explain betting odds lingo as a topic. After that ad read I can tell it will be hilarious. 😁

[@james.b.mcgill]

I'm the same age as Nick and I remember reading RL Stine kids horror books BEFORE he came out with the Goosebumps series. By the time Goosebumps came along I had already moved on to more adult books.

[@dejjibd424]

Enjoyed this 👍

[@dps0610]

Greg is right about Little Cesar’s used to be great. Little Cesar’s in Detroit is still amazing, and they have the Detroit style they were founded on 👌

[@sinaito8462]

When my parents baked chicken or turkey, they'd leave the greasy pan out in the kitchen, and I'd keep getting a fingerful at every opportunity.

[@hayden5903]

I know most of the Lads say they are not readers but for people that love video games Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin is a fantastic read.

[@flarey9495]

the book series that i would read as a kid were by richard scarry, it was just picture books of animals doing mundane human jobs, i always found it fascinating lol

[@superluigiac]

Automatic like for Jones!!!

[@langleymneely]

I like Hoult as an actor and trust Gunn implicitly but I am sick of having young looking Luthors. Hes a character that could be played by ANYONE at any age and for me Lex is more intimidating when hes an older (than Superman I mean) character that thinks he has his shit together as far as power in Metropolis is concerned.

[@ZrKy7]

"Hurt me daddy"

[@josephgrigsby]

All the Papa Johns in Riverside closed down and they put a Dominos in place of the one I used to go to all the time. 🤣 the disrespect! hahaha Just changed the roof from green to blue.

[@Exodass]

Fuck yeah Jones!!

[@xvgabexv]

Love seeing Tim rocking a Kith sweater

[@CompletelyInadequate]

why

[@Whitephoenix98]

I like the new display on the desk, the old one was hideous

[@Roneish1996]

I love whenever Greg just casually makes it clear he’s been rewatching the classic seasons of the Simpsons presumably showing them to Ben. Mono = one Rail = Rail.

[@baundiesel]

That sports betting ad better pay enough to run the company for the whole year to make up for how gross it is. lol

[@AloisWeimar]

Mista Lu’tha - Otis

[@RetroKidReviews]

0:30 in and oh god (or Satian) Greg found out about the new Superman casting hide the mangos y’all!!!

[@MRayGames]

I pity any non-brit who comes across the word "Worcestershire" haha Its Wooster-shuh, and we all know its stupid

[@issacrodriguez91]

ANDY GO HOME

[@Tatman2TheResQ]

Can we not rotate the camera like this ever again? I'm gonna puke. Lol 3:51

[@Re1ampag0]

Dude just sat there most of the time.

[@MelodicQuest]

At least he got to plug his book

[@kdiamond12]

On a podcast? Crazy huh
