The Buddies load up on some Ready Player One-themed “Scurvy-Bustin’ Citrus Mules” and, as Guest Fest continues, welcome Mike’s old college buddy and improv comedy compatriot Dan Saper, “The Man With An Indiscernible Accent!”
Topics joked about range from the Ready Player One movie vs the book, geek parenting and the college pranks of yesteryear. And the Buddies even keep the episode clean so that Dan’s kids can listen!
Also, Dan reveals a shocking secret that he’s kept from Mike for almost 20 years.
Wow.
