Phonographs (ft. Ben Youngerman)

Improvised Wikipedia

Well. It had to happen eventually. We brought Glen's nemesis Ben Youngerman onto the show as our dumb guest. Apparently we brought him up enough times that he invoked some kind of Beetlejuice rule where we had to let him on.

He wanted to know about phonographs because he's an old timey time traveler who looks like what would happen if a Dick Dastardly Funko Pop got its wish to be a real boy.
It's a good episode anyway. Glen explains exactly how phonographs work and also why Thomas Edison was such a piece of shit. We don't do people as topics because of the Vincent Price Rule, but Glen might record a special episode just shitting on Edison for an hour because for real that guy sucks so hard. He's the Ben Youngerman of Menlo Park.
