34: You'll Never Love a Clown Again

This time we're going to talk about the stories that get told. Some of them are lies, some of them are just fiction. Which is kind of like lying. Relevant films for some of Jon's kid's lies are The Sixth Sense and Poltergeist. Also, Shakes The Clown. Speaking of lying, we clear up what's not a lie but interesting nonetheless: when Lex has talked about riding a bike in past episodes, he's been talking about a TerraTrike. Just for the record. As for literature, Moltz's son likes joke books. Jon recommends Captain Underpants which Moltz seconds. Moltz also recommends Timmy Failure. Harry Potter, of course, is good for kids who are maybe 8 and up. We also talk about Minecraft. It's very popular. What's not popular is guys in Britain dressing up as clowns and standing around in the dark. Holy crap, no. Our thanks to Ubooly for sponsoring this episode.
