Hola, Sneakers! Welcome to Episode 311! This week Ian and Dave are joined by Third Dragon Nina Matsumoto, who celebrates her birthday by discussing preferred facial hair; designing t-shirts for Fangamer; eating Ian’s poisoned bon-bons; looking up a giant beanstalk; returning to the apple controversy; eating Halloween apples; quoting a lot of Wikipedia; describing her dog’s weird fear; talking booze balls; getting in a widget controversy; listing foreign X-Men; wondering about historical body swapping; getting down on Funko Pops; virtually enjoying reality; playing stress dream video games; committing bulk theft; giving some background to the Sparks! creative process; feeling blah about the Death Note movie; spoiling Stranger Things 2; hearing about Louis C.K.’s I Love You, Daddy; bringing a gift of questionable taste; taking part in Chick Talk™; and, finally, acknowledging the existence of American Thanksgiving.
Thanks for listening.

I JUST REMEMBERED THE OTHER TUCSON SONG
“Jojo was a man who thought he was a loner
But he knew it wouldn’t last
Jojo left his home in Tucson, Arizona
For some California grass”
I’m blaming David for not remembering this.
Papers please! Papers please!
Or go back to where you once belonged!

The artist they call Matsumoto
Has no Wikipedia photo
They can’t I.D. Nina
To serve a subpoena
To show up in court in Kyoto.
I hope you had a happy birthday. May you become super rich off “Sparks!” sequels, merch, and film and TV options. I was lucky enough to get my claws on an advance copy and the artwork is great!
FYI: Nina also rhymes with Star Wars Cantina.
That’s fantastic!
Nice!
Ah, Nina Matsumoto!
A keener cat you won’t know.
Her wiki smarts
And skill at arts
Could clean a cat who won’t show.
