 Happy MLK Day everyone.  I hope most of you have the day off and will be able to have a short work week ahead.  A long weekend makes us all “as happy as a clam at a clam convention.”

To kick things off we have a few corrections from the last episode.   We’ve recorded over 56 hours of original, unscripted talk and every so often something comes out of our mouths that’s just… off.   That happened last week, so we clean it up here.  I know it was the 20lb gorilla in the room… wait… what? Crap.  I did it again!

• - The Golden Globes – Jason hit some after parties.  Who did he run into?

• - Disney announces Disney Infinity video game (a PRE-correction – when talking about this game I mention “the duck from Phineas and Ferb” – Dunno why I said that.  It’s a platypus, not a duck)
• - Guillermo Del Toro working on the Justice League Dark Movie
• - The end of ‘FRINGE’
