The guys take a break from the norm and pour "a few" drinks to discuss various topics from Travel to Movies and Sports. This episode also has the distinction of something the guys have only done once before on the pod; They're actually broadcasting from the same location! That calls for a drink, or "a few" drinks. Bartender!

Great films usually are products of strong scripts, casting, directing, and the skills of the entire crew.
