## Resource

A daydreaming, asthmatic high school student teams up with his hero for a martial arts tournament. Listen as we chat about facts that are clearly satire, the time Alan kinda (but not really) met Danica McKellar, and the stupidest bully nickname ever. Then we see if Sidekicks stands the Test of Time.
