About this episode
Set your sails, it’s Tony Hale! We’ve got the double-Emmy winner and good friend of the show Busting in this week. Jason gets his hands dirty, Will reminisces about the hardest he’s ever laughed, and Sean still hasn’t seen any Arrested Development (but he trusts it’s good, since his pals won’t shut up about it). Pod voyage!
