Let's get to know Chris Sbrocco.

John is in a salty mood as he talks about the reaction to the chilling events that occurred in last night's NFL game between the Bills and the Bengals. As a man lay lifeless on the field, how appropriate were some Twitter comments? Does it give some people full license to be a pud? John & Tim also discuss New Year's resolutions.

Just wanted to use the word Gobbledygook. If "Seinfeld" was a show about nothing, this episode is x5. John tells a joke courtesy of the late, great Norm MacDonald, Tim gives a shout-out to Miracle Mechanical, and John recalls a trip overseas and how it relates to recording this bonus edition.
