Recorded live from the Aquaboy Studios West, the guys dive back into another brutal episode of Whiz Kids - - and finally have the courage to confront certain hosts on their evil plan to renew this show forever. Tony drops a bombshell that he's made a new friend outside the show, and the details get weirder the longer he talks. Expect some pointed questions about who (or what?) this "friend" actually is. Confessions, laughs, teens being choked, and a big Whiz Kids verdict - - this one's got it all.

Whiz Kids is an American science fiction adventure television series that originally aired on CBS from October 5, 1983, to June 2, 1984. The show was created by Philip DeGuere, who had also created the detective series Simon & Simon for CBS in 1981, and Bob Shayne and produced by Universal Television. DeGuere also served as executive producer.

The series starred Matthew Laborteaux, Todd Porter, Jeffrey Jacquet and Andrea Elson as the titular “whiz kids”, a group of teenagers who became amateur detectives using computer technology to solve mysteries. The show also starred Max Gail as an investigative reporter and A Martinez as the commanding officer of the local police precinct's detective squad.

The Aquaboys finally return to the podwaves after a well-needed hiatus. This episode serves up a surprisingly deep dive into gypsy culture. Chad continues his ongoing campaign to hug every medical professional in his life. Meanwhile, Whiz Kids continues to frustrate and torture as it quietly grows into the Aquaboys biggest burden (will it dethrone Farris Bueller?) - - most listeners thought three of the four Aquaboys were completely done with it, we’ll see what happens when it comes to cancel or renew time. The boys also drop some must-watch recommendations during Totally Worth Attention Television, which at this point may be the only thing holding the podcast together.

(Recorded Live at Gus’s World-Famous Fried Chicken)
The Aquaboys return to their home-away-from-home: Gus’s Fried Chicken on Magnolia in crazy Fort Worth!

This extra-long episode has it all - - random thoughts, a controversial game show, the annual gift exchange, and a reluctant return to Whiz Kids. 50% of the show is begging to be done with this slog. Not even a very sexually charged kind of icky feeling crossover with the greatness of Simon and Simon can keep us interested.

Happy Holidays!

Special thanks to Cub and the entire Gus’s team at the Magnolia location for being such wonderful hosts. Find out more about Gus’s here: https://www.gusfriedchicken.com/locations/fort-worth-texas
