It's my (Stephen's) Birthday! So, of course, we're playing trivia. Actually I'm reading the trivia questions while Pat & Rob struggle to happen upon a correct answer. Happy Birthday to me. This is another "special" podcast in that it's one of those short ones. It's an artifact of my hosting company, I only have so much space per month so every 4th episode... you get this. You're welcome.

Sidenote: This Saturday, Feb 1st at 10pm ET on the LIVE section of this website we will be doing a special one-night only LIVE podcast during the Annie Awards ceremony. Anyone who has ever watched them knows what an unpredictable night it can be so you should absolutely join us. We have a chat room where you can interact with us and everything... almost like we planned it! You can RSVP on the Facebook event page too if you like.

Behold in the intro, the strangest sounding burp in the world... courtesy of Rob (who else?)! This week we talk about John K working for Miley Cyrus, Alan Becker blowing up the internet, and just about everything else under the sun. This episode could easily be called "tangents" because we are ALL over the place. Pat is a bit sick again (rapidly becoming a theme on the podcast) but toughed it out for your benefit. Still, it was a lot of fun to record! Have enjoyment with the words we have uttered.

In this episode we discuss The Simpsons honoring Miyazaki, Michel Gagne's new movie, a couple new trailers, another "trick" competition to scheme animators to work for free and Meryl Streep's character attack of someone long since dead at an award show for someone completely different sitting right there in the audience. It's been a weird week. We also find out that PAT IS A RAPPER. Learn something new every day.

For the first podcast of 2014 we talk "Frozen"s success, Rob's new animated short, and a lot of death. One passing that hit us was that of "Apple Dave" (mistakenly called "Apple Dan" on ep1). It hit us hard. Hit us right in the podcast. But never fear... we're still as dumb and likable as ever! Let us lift your spirits and get your year started off with a few laughs and some actual sincerity (for 0.4 seconds). Happy 2014!!
