About this episode
What do Atari, Pixar, pizza, beer and rats have in common? Jordan and Alex dive into a suspiciously sticky ball-pit under the uncanny valley gaze of an animatronic rat to go deep on everyone's favorite source of cherished childhood memories and/or trauma: Chuck E. Cheese! They'll discover the roots the chain shares with the iconic video game company behind "Pong," get the heart of the vicious feud between Chuck and his closest competitor, and shine a light on the animatronics wunderkind and vexed utopian who crafted the indelible animatronic band whose songs live on in all our hearts. Also, there will be pizza. And fistfights! Alex won't stop calling the rat "Charles!" Jordan is baffled by all of this! So take a listen to where a kid can be a kid: Too Much Information.
