I just got the chance to watch Wednesday's show, two words...""you guys killed it""!!! Okay, that's four words but it was a terrific show. One thing though, was I the only one who heard Donald's Freudian Slip about his true nature and skills? I am speaking about when he meant to say ""Mini-accordians"" but actually said ""Midichlorions."" Donald is a Jedi...I knew it!! ""Help me Donald Bell, you're my only hope."" Also, Eric's new segment was great, the content and delivery. I think a lot of adolescent young men will like the way the new Wonder Woman is drawn...I anticipate an unexplained shortage of petroleum products upon it launch. Finally, Steven's intro to Eric's segment was ""Totally Awesome."" Geek News Rocks. Great show.
