The beast must go! Warning! Every last inch of this podcast is covered with hair. It also happens to be the best podcast about De La Soul and the 103rd greatest album of all time, 3 Feet High and Rising.

 

Before we get to the album though we make sure you know that you're getting rammed by the best when we take a call about the best Disney songs ever and that part of the podcast is roughly the size of a barge! Then we discuss buying a new house, being the hero of the day, babysitting your own kids, and confused TSA agents.
