How do you accurately describe a guy with a flaming pie tattoo? Pol describes himself as a combination between Han Solo, “Handsome” Dan from Wayne’s World 2, and Hedonismbot from Futurama. We kinda think of Pol like a Chicago-style pizza; covered in cheese, stuffed with awesomeness, and deeper than you think.
All geeks are present and accounted for this week, but Pol, Kirsten, and Art are at The Zone, while Bud & Bryan are at their respective homes. This week, we encourage you to shop local, chirp Zack Snyder, and review The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air Reunion and The Mandalorian.
