This week, we remember why our parents may or may not have thought we were gay during our bromances, how awesome ToyFare Magazine was, how lame some of our childhood toys (like neon Batman figures) were, how awesome others (like ThunderCats) were, how girls failed to remember that handsome Harvey Dent became Two-Face, and how the Real Housewives of Atlanta think black mannequins dressed as slaves can’t actually have sex with them.

This week — in addition to our regular show — we’ve got a small bonus clip for anyone who downloads our Android Marketplace or iOS Podcast Box apps. We’re hoping to make this a regular thing by offering small extras or behind-the-scenes stuff to add value to these one-time $1.99 purchases.

Now go listen to our nonsense, share the episode with everyone you know and everyone you’ve ever met, and help us kick those Rooster Teeth bastards off their iTunes throne! Also: Check out the platinum hit single “Mittens Up,” by my newly discovered Earth-2 counterpart, embedded below.

For Android users who want to download our podcasting app, stay tuned — we’re still waiting for that one to pop up in the Android Marketplace. For iOS users, here’s what you need to do:

1. Download and launch the Podcast Box app.
2. Click Categories, then Games & Hobbies.
3. Swipe to page 2, and click on “The Comedy Button.”
4. Click the icon in the corner of the podcast description to get to the bonus content. BRAAPPP!!!

Put your mittens up, people! This week, we recorded an episode that sucked (so we scrapped it), and then we recorded this one (you get to be the judge of whether this one sucks too!) In any case, we say hello to Ryan Scott’s bizarro rapper twin, examine the upper echelon of Snob Hill, discuss the pitfalls of OKCupid, give our advice for name-changing (short version: just rename yourself “Max” like Max did), listen to some terrible theme song submissions, consider having babies (or not), and mock the ridiculousness of truTV. Also: Vajazzling. Starring Scott Bromley, Brian Altano, Anthony Gallegos, Ryan Scott, and Max Scoville.
