superstitious

Steve and Scott get superstitious in this episode about the origins of "Break a Leg" and "Knock on Wood." But first, you'll hear about Steve's run in with Paul Stanley's surprising doppelganger at Monticello and plans for the upcoming film, "Little Miss Stan Lee."

The guys also discuss one of the worst moments of U.S. history and how it should never be celebrated on a t-shirt, and both the Greeks and Germans make glorious comebacks to the show in this can't miss episode!
