Ka-Pow the Pop Cultured Podcast #17

With Seth out sick, Michael invited his childhood friend Ronald P. Tramp to the studio to fill in.  What followed were a lot of laughs, some inappropriate sound effects, a few near-fistfights, and a shocking revelation even Michael didn't know about his origin that we can only refer to as "Crisis on County Road 10."  Combine that with breaking news about an insane DNA-thieving lawsuit involving the comic industry's greatest heel, the Perfidious Perlmutter, and you have all the makings of a classic episode of Ka-Pow: The Pop-Cultured Podcast.
