Thanks to iFanboy Patrons, it's Talksplode time.

Your patience will be rewarded with a fantastic conversation with comic book writer, Rob Williams.

Eventually, Josh makes a bold, entitled statement about a connection between G.I. Joe and This is Spinal Tap, and he gets it mixed up. The management would like to apologize for his ineptitude and disciplinary steps have been initiated. That had nothing to do with what was otherwise a perfectly fine episode of this program.
