    About this Episode

    "Perfect Bid: The Contestant Who Knew Too Much," a documentary on Ted Slauson who memorized prices from The Price is Right for years, has just been re-released on Netflix. We were lucky enough to sit down for an interview with Ted "Theodore" Slauson about his time on the show, the documentary and how having it on Netflix shows the documentary to such a wide audience.

    For those that don't know, Slauson has been to more than THIRTY tapings of The Price is Right, which isn't even close to the record -- apparently.

    For more on his incredible story about "hacking" -- essentially -- being smarter than -- the game show, listen to our episode. Then, head over to Netflix and watch "Perfect Bid: The Contestant Who Knew Too Much." It's streaming now!

    58. Better Call Saul w/ Miles

    58. Better Call Saul w/ Miles

    The end of an era. From Breaking Bad to El Camino -- and now -- Better Call Saul -- we say goodbye to the Gilliganverse.

    Better Call Saul had a tough task ahead of it after Breaking Bad ended so we brought on Miles to discuss how it followed up one of the greatest shows of all time.

    We talk about the series as a whole, the finale and the last season in general so we can finally figure out who Jimmy McGill is. Is he Saul Goodman? James McGill? Gene Takovic? Maybe he's all three.

    Plus -- Lalo, Gus, Kim, Nacho and more all get their shine as well.

    Thanks for listening!

    56. Westworld Season 4

    Westworld Season 4 has come to a close, and Janson wants to talk about it! The reason he's alone to discuss the show is well... nobody else really watches at this point except him and his wife.

    The highs of the show, the lows of the show and the confounding moments of the show Westworld will all be discussed in under 15 minutes. While it isn't a perfect show, Janson still believes it's better than most! Is he wrong? Probably -- but that isn't the point!

    Besides -- don't we always need a Sunday night at 9 p.m. HBO show? The world is better when we have one!

    55. The Boys Season 3

    55. The Boys Season 3

    What a season of television. The Boys Season 3 had so much in it. So much story, so much character, so much gore and so much NSFW happenings that it's hard to suggest it to friends to watch.

    We introduce some new characters, ramp up the stakes on some old favorites and see a few familiar faces exit forever.

    However, if you do muster up the courage -- Sky, Sean and Janson agree -- this is one of the best shows on television and probably one of the best Superhero properties ever created!

    Hear their full thoughts in this week's episode.
    What do you think of The Boys? Homelander? The Deep? Starlight? And of course -- what do you think of Soldier Boy?
