I named it after your favorite clothing (w/ Michael VanCalbergh)

Michael VanCalbergh makes an historic third appearance on the show, bringing one from his past that he just can't seem to put down. A college professor's sweater vest becomes an inside joke to a class and young Michael just had to make it... awkward. Good thing Dave and Aaron are the most mature of hosts or this episode would have just become one long sophomoric gigglefest... It isn't that is it?? O dear.

Episode 8.12 "I named it after your favorite clothing (w/ Michael VanCalbergh)"
