Hey, what'd y'all think of the Fred Armisen episode?

I was pretty excited about it. Bill just asked him after meeting him IRL and he said yes. I'm talking to Andrew Yang (presidental candidate), Harley Flangan (cro-mags), and Fat Mike (nofx) about coming on next. Fucking sick. Please don't go yelling about it publicly tho cause maybe one of them backs out then I look like a clown who can't pull off things that he says he is going to pull off.
