On this episode we celebrate ABC’s 90s Friday night sitcom lineup known as TGIF. We cover Full House, a very special episode of Diff’rent Strokes, why the movie Big is unrealistic, Tom Hanks vs. Amazon.com, TGIF poison Stacy Keenan, the snappy writing on Boy Meets World, hilarious catchphrases and Tom’s adventures as a junior television mogul. We also solve listener Jesse’s college problems with an elaborate cat tea party plan and barely survive a particularly intense run through The Gauntlet.

Super special thanks to Andre and Ian who did the majority of the hard work for us on this one. We owe you each a beer. Thanks also to Keith, Simone, Ricky, Michelle, Sharon, and Emily for your suggestions. We owe you all a beer which you may split with each other.

Fraternities, Tom’s terrible RA work, blaming everything on 9/11, Tim’s work as a maid, and scamming free pizza from the FBI. Also: when its acceptable to smash someone else’s television and how to get beat up by one of the Foo Fighters.
