Chick Magnet with Dana Snyder
Master Shake's got himself a chick magnet... but it doesn't work the way he expected. Like, in a big way. Voice of Master Shake, Dana Snyder, joins the podcast to talk about this great Season 6 episode! Dana is weighing in on why Shake is such a popular character, whether or not he was nervous to voice Shake for the very first time, and Dana gives Shake some advice on how to actually get chicks. Other topics discussed include Dana's craftiness, what ever happened to Matt Maiellaro's daughter, an

Handbanana w/ Dave Willis and Matt Maiellaro
Tonight, you... will learn all about Handbanana in this week's podcast! Or whenever you get around to listening to this, it doesn't really have to tonight I guess... Anyways, when you decide to listen to this (it's up to you!), you'll be stoked to know that we're joined by ATHF co-creators Matt Maiellaro and Dave Willis, getting their takes on this iconic episode. While Handbanana is (rightfully so) a controversial episode, that doesn't stop it from being many people's favorite, including Master

David Cross Interview | Voice of Happy Time Harry and Bert Banana
Not only did David Cross teach me it was okay to be named Ronnie, but he put Aqua Teen Hunger Force on the map. Big time. Fresh off his successful stint on Broadway (yes-- THAT Broadway), David takes the next logical step in his career and spends some time on a podcast about a cartoon he was on a few times. I don't know why he did, I advised him not to do it. Touching briefly on his time on Aqua Teen, David gives us the down low on having two versions of his standup sets, the origin of his nom d

The Last One Forever and Ever with Dave Willis, Matt Maiellaro, and Jay Wade Edwards
Don Shake just wants to make it big. Don't we all? Matt, Dave, and Jay join the podcast to wax poetic about Aqua Teen's live action episode. And then, afterwards, we waxed each other smooth... but I forgot to record that part. But boy do we look good!
We're hearing about why they called this one "The Last One Forever and Ever" despite being renewed for another season, who else might have played Don Shake, and who was late to filming.

Fry Legs with Hannah and Wren
Fry Legs is one of the most controversial episodes among Aqua Teen fans... and one of my favorites. Ever since starting this podcast, I've been looking forward to talking about horned-up-Frylock and his romantic escapades. To judge Frylock's performance with the ladies, I brought on real-life, actual ladies - my wife Hannah and friend Wren - to see just how masterfully Frylock handles the fairer sex. (Spoilers: not well.)R E F E R E N C E S• Bad Luck Buck: https://youtu.be/r6Cpl96hnS8• The B

2-and-a-Half-Star Wars Out of Five with Bob Pettitt
Not that long ago... in this exact galaxy... Aqua Teen art director Bob Pettitt and I talked about the best Star Wars parody of all time! Bob is back on the show to talk about his kidney-hurting Pawn Shop background, side-stepping legal loopholes with mustaches, and Bob's least favorite thing he had to draw for Aqua Teen Hunger Force.R E F E R E N C E S• Aqua Teen Xmas Fan Animation: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DSrFYdsjKcz/• Rabbot Rebuilt: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gx4sQBySJNE•

Time Machine with Dave Hughes
If I had a time machine, I'd go right back to the start of this recording session just to experience it again. Joining us is "Time Machine" editor Dave Hughes, one of the last remaining original employees at Adult Swim. When he isn't curating Adult Swim Smalls, producing the instant classic Haha, You Clowns, or running the long-standing Off the Air, Dave is building a legendary resume that includes Beavis and Butt-Head, Celebrity Deathmatch, and Space Ghost Coast to Coast. I bet if he had a time

Hanging Out with Dana Snyder, Matt Maiellaro, Jay Wade Edwards, and John Brestan
Today on the podcast we're joined by four certified* Aqua Teen legends: Matt Maiellaro, Dana Snyder, Jay Wade Edwards, and John Brestan. Without these guys, Aqua Teen would suck ass - and this podcast episode would be a lot lonelier. In this buffet of an episode, we're talking about the dead tech that Aqua Teen was founded on, adult swim pilots that never got finished, standards and practices being angry about Spacecataz, and why none of us are opening up Al Roker's cookbook. I mean, come on. Ho
