  1. The hatch hiatus continues as Professor Blastoff comes to you live from The Bell House in Brooklyn, NY! David, Tig and Kyle hilariously interact with some old friends who serendipitously reunited in the audience at the show before engaging in an incredibly memorable acapella rendition of an A-Ha classic. After spending way too much time talking about gonorrhea, the gang welcomes Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Charles Duhigg, author of the New York Times Bestseller "The Power of Habit", to talk about all things related to habits and play a rather scathing round of What's Nuts? Charles talks about the difference between good and bad habits before the Blastoff crew reveal their own personal bad habits, and eventually the audience gets in on the action and share their own vices with our expert guest. And yup, you guessed it — we also Name That Punky!

Howard and Stard cover every topic imaginable, including powerful Russian drugs, art versus animals, the anniversary of Howard's first make out session, and an update for all the loyal Chartists on Howard's sister's relationship with the man who caused the infamous fainting spell.

To close out the episode, Howard answers some fan questions and Stard plays the long anticipated "SUMMAH'S HERE!" REMIX!

Tig's childhood friend Aimee Schmidt, a southern studies major who wears many hats, stops by to school the gang on all things related to the south — including hospitality, BBQ, fried Oreos and everything in between. David brings up the south's troubled past, which leads to a thoughtful discussion on the current state of affairs in modern southern society.

Howard explains his motivation for attending Comic-Con in San Diego this past weekend, which leads to a hilarious discussion with Marc and Kulap on all things comics, cosplay and prostitution. Marc talks about his musical prowess before Kulap counts down the top 5 songs on the Billboard France chart, which segues into Marc's musings on French culture. Before getting to the movie chart, Marc and Howard discuss their opinion on where films go wrong, and Marc reveals that he auditioned for the lead role in the Coen Brothers' A SERIOUS MAN. After that, we get to know Marc even better the best way we know how — through Hermes, our trusty Chart Goose!
