We discuss getting "a guy" and gender-dependent pronouns; Hank (who is a professional musician) and his inability to change guitar strings; The Pokemon Line and other end-of-childhood landmarks; introducing historical figures to current music genres; Hank's strange egg-preparation predilections; textured vegetable product; Phirman's anosmic adventures; and Storm is creeped out by BlinkyTM.
