This week on the show that's getting it done in OT, rock journalist Daniel Ralston pops by to discuss his BuzzFeed piece about fake bands, fraudulent tours, and the disreputable origins of ZZ Top. ...at least, we *think* it's the real Daniel Ralston. PLUS: Muppet Babies! The Frasier-verse! The Finals roll on! And we continue our thorough investigation of Troy Brouwer's gigantic balls.

This week on the show that we don't understand but still very much enjoy, the Cincinnati Zoo murders their gorilla... That counts as a sport, right? At the very least it sends us down a monkey movie rabbit hole, beginning with the monkey-in-a-hotel classic Dunston Checks In, and ending with Air Bud Studios' dog-wrestling movie Russell Madness. PLUS: The merits of playoff bandwagoning, and Troy Brouwer's enormous balls.

Recorded over a week ago, it's an episode that might seem dated had we been able to talk sports for longer than, I don't know, ten minutes? So thank real goodness we couldn't!

And Stefan's roommate, Chris Adam, returns to the show to talk porn parodies and the best episodes of Home Improvement.

53:10 - Rogue and racist Twitter A.I. TayTweets is alive and awful.
1:09:13 - Lethbridge play-by-play man Dustin Forbes is the voice behind our Clip of the Week, and the only CHL broadcaster getting beaked by the Tonight Show.

And a painful combination of WWE and Subway has us dreaming of Ric Flair cutting sandwich-inspired heel promos.
