Joining the Freaks are Joshua Lapin-Bertone, who has been known to sling a mean Marvel Star Wars podcast himself and The Irredeemable Shag, a man who loves Hoojibs so much that it is probably illegal. Basically, we are pushing the envelope of geekdom here. We&#8217;re talking Super-Nerds, Star Wars, comic books, tangents and the epic kiddie record adaptation of the comic &#8211; &#8220;Planet Of The Hoojibs&#8221;! What? You want more?!
