Zoltan Kaszas, Ben, Jerry⊠Itâs a loaded episode. Sean is an emotional wreck over
the Bills game and it turns out, that was probably a good hunch. Greg had a run-in at
Starbucks and Sean fights for him. We find out Tim is ice cream royalty. A lot of talk
about whether Timâs âDC is the capitol of Virginiaâ comment last week is the dumbest
thing uttered in the history of the pod. Gregâs tongue is tied â probably 8 Mushmouth
moments. Greg tells some stories about Freddie D, his club owner mentor. Tim makes
a couple attempts at a Deadhead impression and will not reveal his inspiration. The
new shirts make an appearance. Tim foolishly risks our relationship with
Mookapotamus. The fans continue hate on the set and our guest sticks up for us.
