    Great live(r) episode. I apologize that Hooters was a disappointment and I wonder how long you were entertained by throwing ice into a toilet.  Please don’t send em the bill for any damages done to the hotel room.

    Nice hearing from the many voice actors you interviewed. I had a favorite. Can you guess which?

    I look forward to day two of the expo’s podcast next week!

      Let’s see… If you are into comedy, I’d go with Billy West as your favorite. Or you could be nostalgic like me and enjoy the interview with Jim Cummings. No offence to Tara Strong, but I can’t see you as a bronie, Eric!
