    It's Another Double-Header Weekend!

    Two shows in two days - Peter Pixie & El Secreto worked twice as hard for you this weekend!

    First, Peter was live at DrakeCon Saturday afternoon with voice actors Kyle Hebert and Roy Mustang himself, Travis Willingham, to talk about their latest projects and favorite anime experiences and much more! Unfortunately, due to technical difficulties, the show was unable to be taped, but we thank everyone who joined us live at the convention!

    Then, for Sunday's special pre-Big Game episode, the boys got their own Sugar Momma! Keisha Howard, founder of Sugar Gamers, stopped by to talk about her gaming expertise - and to lay down a challenge! Plus, find out how you can watch El Secreto on your TV! It's double the show and double the laughs this week on HOUR 42!

    Retailers: Don't Be This Guy

    Writer Sarah Kuhn brought this to our attention on Twitter: In hyping up Marvel's new Girls Rule t-shirt, Superhero Stuff's description matched the shirt's availability - "extremely limited." Check this out:

    Can't decide which Marvel Super-heroine I wish to add to my fantasy harem first. Spiderwoman is DEFINITELY in there.  Black Widow...maybe; she's just a little too...used for me. HUZZAH!  Hellcat? Absolutely.  Scarlet Witch?  Maybe not.  She could unmake me if I forget to dry the dishes or something.  Invisible Woman?  YES!  It's the hot mom thing! And....Marvel Girl.  NOPE!  Too damn whiney, not enough character and she tends to die when things get rough!

    The SHS ad also says the shirt is to be worn by "your girlfriend (or sister)." Male gaze, anybody? Ugh ugh ugh. The shirt isn't perfect - there's no XL option and it's only available in the "baby doll"-ish cut, but if you feel the need to make your girlfriend (or sister) wear your "fantasy harem," we suggest you buy it directly from Marvel.

    EDIT: we encourage our listeners to contact SHS on Twitter and let them know this is not the way to market their merchandise.
