At last! As the Dillinger Escape Plan reached their closure, we got Ben Weinman on the show! One of Antonio’s all time favorites, breaking up DEP was hardly reason to celebrate.

Ducks! Their tails, that is! Matt Mondanile joins Antonio to talk tails of ducks (the haircut), converting people to things, knowledge and virtue. And then some Disney talk and some hobbies talk.
