Weight gain and dieting during the coronavirus. Friendship bracelet update. Virtual racing. It's Tim's fault! A medical device that you should leave for the people who really need it. TP T-Rex. A history of "shelter in place". Zoom chat privacy. Tops vs bottoms.

We learned the truth at seventeen...or did we??! You'll have to listen to find out! THIS episode, we find ourselves trapped in the ultimate liminal space—an abandoned Applebees's with a rather...puzzling...layout. As we solve our way through the puzzle box that surrounds us, we unpack the ominous purpose behind some of America's most beloved recent trends—e.g. escape rooms and scooters—and finally give you the takedown of Orson Scott Card you've all been waiting for.

Today on Who's There, one of our oldest-listening and most treasured fans calls in to explain why Jennifer Aniston will NEVER be a Who, and boy is she convincing. Next up are some calls about coffee (who the hell is Gregory, anyway?), a famous talking snowman (AKA Josh Gad), and our favorite sibling of Tyne's. (It's Tim. Sorry to all other Daly sibs.)
We celebrate reaching our milestone 20th episode by going head-to-head. It's quiz time. It's Tim vs Harry. It's Tracks vs Tracks. It's war! The format is simple: 10 questions each, all written by the other. Returning guest Ben Brooks of Buddha Blood is the quiz master, and the loser has to do a forfeit of Ben's choice. It's a fun and raucous way to kick off Tracks' 20s. Away from the quiz, we also learn about our guest's current musical preferences, with strong music selections coming from the likes of Little Dragon, Nas and The Lemon Pipers. So grab your popcorn, download the show and enjoy as we get overly competitive. As Drake would say, if you're reading this it's too late. We already love you for taking an interest in our podcast. The biggest of thank you's to every single one of you. We do not claim ownership of any of the music played in this episode.

It's Tim's turn to make a pick, and this one brings the first big disagreement of the 2013 season as we tackle the sophomore album from Big Ass Truck, 1996's Kent. The gentlemen from Memphis combine Southern rock, funk and a little Ska with touches of Dust Brothers production ala the Beastie Boys and Beck. It's definitely an acquired taste, and one host did not acquire it. Can you guess who? Tune in to find out.
