Episode 94 - 1994 and Burgerchamp!
Trav and Alex invite their long-time pal Burgerchamp onto the show to discuss what 1994 was like to a rural high schooler in the south. Burger also happens to be a pop-culture encyclopedia and no one is better for fielding questions related to TV show theme songs.
