You ever know a guy a while and think you know him, and then one day he starts telling crazy stories about himself and you realize you’ve only scratched the surface? I’d known this week’s guest, Jason Dove, as a funny comedian in the local San Francisco scene, but until about a week ago, I never knew that he also holds 17 videogame records (that’s him above, with King of Kong’s Billy Mitchell and Twin Galaxies), owned an arcade, played in some rock bands, and has bought cocaine for numerous rock stars, some of them now dead. This week, we had a ton of fun with Jason, talked Fantasy Summer Box Office, played Manswers Roulette, and played a few fun clips. I think it’s a pretty solid episode. Enjoy.
