Summary

Scott Aukerman joins Seth and Josh on the pod this week! He talks all about growing up in Cypress, California, his parents' deep involvement in church (and making him go three times a week), his love of comic books, and his competitive family game nights. Plus, he shares hilarious stories about his dad renting a hotel just to watch him on HBO (only to turn it off five minutes in), how he once chose Merlin over Cats on Broadway, his A-Team obsession on a childhood trip, and the Route 66 road trip he planned—but never got to take. And of course, Scott spills behind-the-scenes stories from Between Two Ferns and writing for the Emmys, Golden Globes, and more!
