Kevin also brags about the fact that he finally broke down to the Apple cult and bought an iPhone. The Fat Guys talk about nudity (or some lack thereof) in the new film Miss March, how much Neil is a pansy for never seeing the original Last House on the Left and why Kevin convinces Neil that Race to Witch Mountain is something he might like.
