• More discussion of favorite single issues of a comic which leads to further discussion of comics
• Joe and Butch Moo every time they see a cow on the side of the freeway.
• Do you feel the compulsion to get the last issues of a comic you dropped before it was canceled.
• Joe promised we would stop at a cheese shop on the way home, but we didn’t. We didn’t. And I am still sad about it.
• What is up with Norman Osborn?
• Wrasslin’ talk
• Iron Man 2020
• How you knew comics prices where about to go up when we were kids.

All of this, the usual shenanigans and much, much more!
