This is, without a doubt, our favorite episode yet.

The guys start off this episode with some insider PAXAMANIA talk…and also how Dave screwed Darryl out of meeting Swery (sorry!). Then they take listeners on a brief tour of Boston’s Chinatown (it’s very nice, actually), before Dave reveals one of his friends is in fact an awful, awful person.
