George and Tony Entertainment Show

Kevin Bednarz Dot Com

You've heard him briefly on a few episodes and you've heard his business partners and customers bust his chops (among other things) on past episodes (most recently on episodes 170 and 171). Now Kevin Bednarz fills the guest co-host chair to talk to George about Comic Logic in Ashburn, VA (www.comiclogicva.com), The Ashburn Pub, MCA Day, great customers, Disney Cruises, and a little something called NOVACON (www.thenovacon.com). You may have heard about it on the show. It's just two months away on July 28-30 at the Ritz-Carlton in Tysons Corner, VA. Get your tickets now and tell 'em George and Tony (and Kevin) sent you. 

Plus, Rob Kaylin of Comic Logic gets his own theme song. We gave one to Rich Gollhofer, too.

This episode was made available on Memorial Day weekend 2017. Please take the time to remember and honor those who sacrificed everything so we could have the freedom to talk about these fun and geeky things on a podcast.

Guardians, Doctors, and Disneyland

Perennial guest co-host Rob Shade returns to fill in for Tony. Rob talks George off the ledge in the first five minutes of the show then joins the conversation about Free Comic Book Day 2017, Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 2, and the trials and tribulations of a novice cast member at Disneyland. Plus, Rob picks some nits from the Doctor Who discussion George had with Rich Gollhofer of Comic Logic in Ashburn, VA (www.comiclogicva.com) two weeks ago on episode 170 (check our archives on iTunes and subscribe).

We know every podcaster asks you to use their links and show codes when doing all your online shopping at Amazon. Odds are they have other ways for you to support them via paid sponsors, Patreon pages, or straight up Donate buttons. We don't have any of that stuff. Please use the Amazon link at www.georgeandtony.com for all your online shopping and use the other methods to help out your other favorite podcasts. Thank you for listening.
