An apple a day keeps the doctor away….depending on how that apple is prepared, by whom, and under what pretense.

We have a brand new episode of Professor Blastoff for you this week. You’re welcome. It really was very selfless of us. Kyle could have been visiting his mother, Tig could have been raising money for hurricane relief, David could have been drinking cool beers, and Dr. Alex Platt could have been trying on pieces of burnt orange outerwear. But instead they got together and made this podcast about altruism. So once again, you’re welcome.

We can never talk enough about Crank and Crank 2. Fortunately we found someone just as excited about the movies to chat with us: Brian Taylor, the co-writer/director of the franchise.

You don’t need a background check to visit Sklarbro Country, so come on by hundreds of times!

Farm, and we’re impressed with his charm. We discuss our careers, our feelings towards peers, our changes through the years, and we approach new frontiers. He’s one of our favorite boys, so enjoy(s)!
