In this episode, brought to you from studio 315 in Madison, Wisconsin, we interview Bob from Sesame Street. We ask him about how he became one of the original cast members and what it was like working with Bird Bird and Oscar the Grouch. We also talk about the effects of stress on children, an awesome retro tote bag, and dressing up like characters from the Wizard of Oz.

Snuffy was a great and underrated side character. Another one of mine was Guy Smiley!
