*Editors note* We apologize for the occasional hum that shows up in this recording -Birdman- What do you get when you have 5 geeks locked in a room at 2am and half tired? You get this episode of TWiG Talk Show, which we kind of nicknamed, TWiG After Dark. Birdman, Steve, Laura, Laidman and Big Mike from the 404s sat down and talked about Walmart, Drive-Thru’s, dead corpses, strip clubs and oh so much more. It’s by far the weirdest episode we’ve ever done guys. If you don’t chuckle at least once when listening to it, you are dead inside.

You all know the sound, the dreaded school bell. A signal that classes would begin, and if you were tardy you eventually wouldn’t amount to anything in Hill Valley! As September is “Back To School” month for a lot of us, Mike “The Birdman” Dodd and Steve “Snowball” Saylor sat down for this month’s Topic Show to talk about Hollywood’s view of Schools. Whether it was the wonders that was “The Wonder Years” or the slick “School Was Cool” with Saved By the Bell, what was school like in our lives compared to Hollywood’s? So join us as we walk the school halls of our childhood and break down if Hollywood deceived us or helped us. Also, your homework assignment if you can call it that, is after you’ve listened to the show we would love to hear your experiences in school growing up. Was it good? Was it bad? Leave a comment below or email us at feedback@thisweekingeek.net with your stories. Also, with your permission, we would love to read those stories on-air and show that we group of geeks are there for each other. Schmalzy? Yeah, but hey it could be fun.
