About this episode

This week we're talking about one of the fastest hedgehogs around, Sonic. He's everybody's favorite little ring-collecting blue guy to draw disturbing pictures of and post to the internet. We discuss Sonic's origins, what kind of kids own each video game system and Michael Jackson. We also solve a problem about a couple dogs that is so disturbing that we almost end this show forever.
