Tanks: they're not just how the Irish say thanks. Sam's very own real brother Jacob gives us a crash course in tanks throughout history, from normal to downright ridiculous in design.

Then, Sam and Nate get into some virtual tanks and talk about how war is VERY BAD but tank engineering is COOL and that's A TOUGH TRUTH.

It's WRASSLIN' TIME! Stephen McClure the sweet sweet bassist gives us the down low on the rings, the ropes, and the turnbuckles dating back to his childhood. And he completely subverts our time warp expectations!

Then a week later, we go long on the episode because we loved wrestling so much! Undertaker throwing Mankind off basically a building, thumbtacks, ladder jumps, and extreme goof. What more could you possibly want?

EDM is different from DJing? Yeah DUH! Our local Dubstep/Riddim artist Cantrip unpacks the whole EDM culture with a whole lotta plur. Plur is an EDM thing you'll get it.

Then, a baker's week later, Nate and Sam go to a live EDM concert downtown and swim in the beats! VIP section NOT INCLUDED.

We dive into a fantasy series Sam HASN'T read yet! Jenn Hessel tells us all about Sarah J. Maas and the Throne of Glass series, full of badass assassin ladies AND brooding sassy princes.

Then, Sam and Nate discover that fantasy doesn't have to be boring at the beginning! Imagine that! If you're thinking about getting back into fantasy or reading in general, this series is for you!

We found a fine motor skill craft that Sam actually likes?! That's growth! The impeccable Josh Zambrano goes into incredible detail about his love for painting the mini-est of miniatures for tabletop role-playing games. Such a TREAT.

Then Josh teaches us how to paint IN PERSON and Sam and Nate gab about their love for little guys and painting as yet another lesson in creativity. And we have segments now? We're on a roll!

Hello Kitty more like Hello we love her and all of her fun friends! Rachel gives us a crash course on the absolutely adorable Sanrio universe and all their fun lil' guys. And she only made a couple of them up! You decide!

Then Nate and Sam go to Chinatown and open blind boxes live on the pod! JUSTICE FOR HANGYODON! Plus Hello Kitty Island Adventure and My Melody and Kuromi. We promise by the end you'll know what ALL these words mean. Will Sam actually CONTINUE THE HOBBY?!

Bookmarks? Like with craft paper and a laminator? You bet your sweet ass. Josh Leeper (the other half of Short Leap Theatre Company) turned his teacher free time into a hobby so explosive that he MADE A DIAROMA OF A MINI-HOUSE. What can't this guy craft?

Then "one week" later, Nate and Sam surprise each other with personalized bookmark gifts all their own, and talk appreciation for all those craft people out there.

10 Episodes and BOY ARE OUR HANDS READY FOR PAINTING. Shaina Toledo gives us a stunning rundown on the art of doing your nails, and her personal connection to whole process.

Then, she actually DOES our NAILS. With the gel and the UV and everything! Did Sam get out alive?
