    Quicksand, rip currents, and falling windows… all ways the guys have narrowly avoided death. One of them happened before Alan was even an actor, let alone a Spaceman. Here's to hoping he doesn't see a pair of tiger sharks. Press play; your life may depend on it! **Listener Note: The segment from 35:30–37:52 includes a discussion of sexual coercion in duck mating behavior.

    Nathan Fillion and Alan Tudyk are aging into senior discounts. They’re even wearing shoes with elastic laces. Yet, they STILL found the energy to record a live episode in front of an audience. While on stage, the guys swap stories about prosthetic makeup mishaps, commiserate over dog digestion, and open the floor to audience questions.

Alan and Nathan's warmth and comradery really comes through in this and learning more about them and the guests is really cool. A must listen for any of their fans, Firefly or otherwise.

Two very funny actors in their 50s talking about life and the projects they've been involved as well talking to guest stars they have known. This podcast reminds me of many a buddy comedy. Outstanding.
