This week, we're joined by special guest David Noble, with whom we discuss having a lot of CDs, playing the drums, and out-there advertising. Plus, we come up with a vibrant new advertising campaign for the podcast, meet Dave's parents, and play an exciting round of That Sounds Good, What's That About?
Disclaimer: We were doing really well at pretending we didn't record this episode well in advance... until we accidentally talked a whole bunch about the new Star Wars movie we hadn't seen yet. Oops.

Waterloo is the first single from the new EP by Max Quinn's Onomatopenis, Carpool Tunnel Syndrome.
