James is sick this week and managed to record, but then ran out of health points, so Marcus chopped this one into shape while he respawns. Apologies if the following topics sound strangely under-edited:
• Drop the bass • Contact between teacher and student • Kids' anti-gun violence walkout • So much material outside the show • Wilmer Valderrama's character on NCIS • JAG, CSI . . . who watches? • Ted McKinley, JumptheShark, TV Tropes • Down the Google Earth rabbit hole • Looking at childhood residences online • Cold meds and goofballs • Ready Player One, the book • It's the drugs talking

We talked about these things, among others:
• Sick Talk, ft.
