This week, the boys discuss their recent weekend, from James seeing Hausu to James performing karaoke at a friend's birthday party and the incriminating photos that arose from it and... okay... that part is pretty James-heavy.  You may want to fast forward.

Otherwise, the boys discuss the most recent episode of The Carrie Diaries, how funny it would be if Community got canceled the day before it's set to return and the insane wealth of new comics that went on sale last week.  Hear them gush about Sam Humphries comics!  Learn what the Danica Test is and how it applies to Young Avengers!  Count the number of things they say that will totally get Brandon in trouble later!

Ah, young love.

Alternate Title: Don't Be Brandon

This week, the boys discuss the non-drinking-and-hangover-related part of their second (site (for now)) anniversary celebrations by discussing Life of Pi, which immediately gets derailed, along with their discussion of The Carrie Diaries, to talk about comics.

Wait... first, James isn't the villain (it gets close, though), and now the boys actually talk about comics before the 45 minute-mark?  What kind of sex planets aligned for this one?

This week, famed author and rap camper Sam Humphries returns to the show to talk about his new comics and be the show's first threepeat guest!  He talks continuing on The Ultimates, the return of Sacrifice (and makes what let's assume is a binding promise that the pull quotes James submitted are in the issue) and writing Canadian science fiction, also known as a story about a beach booty contest in the awesome Ahoy Booty! zine.  He also delves into his approach to the brand new Uncanny X-Force, which has its first issue come out next week, in particular the characters of Puck and Mohawk Storm.  At the end, we check in with Sam regarding his thoughts on comics business innovation and, because this is Canada, Margaret Atwood.

This week, the boys celebrate the one year anniversary of the podcast with a look back at the year of 2012, with the help of friend of the show Scott Williams.  At least, in theory.  In reality, the show is as meandering at ever, occasionally stopping to talk about some great media from the last year but refusing to settle on anything but the 1990s.

Seriously, dudes, that was the best decade.
