The episode with a visual aid. Simon and Dan discuss House of Gaga, Olympic sports, the Jingle Jam, and finally read the brilliant Holopod Star Wars fan fiction! For reasons that will become clear in the next episode, this episode is very, very, very, very dated. We recorded this over a month ago, as is obvious from our discussion of the Jingle Jam.
