## Resource

Christian Bladt is back from Hackamania and can't wait to tell Eric Zane how much fun everyone had. They'll also look at a number of Debbie Downers who clearly regret not attending the event, namely Mersh and Chad Zumock. They dive in to the nothingburger of a run-in between Ethan Ralph and Tommy Jordan, and hear from Penny and The Big Dork about an angle to that story that nobody else is talking about. Karl, Jenny Jingles, and Lucy Tightbox join the show to discuss their experience at Hackamania 3 and explain why getting free gifts and drugs is pretty swell.
