The Smartest Man In The World, Greg Proops takes his rightful spot in the front seat of this week’s Sklarbro County! Greg shares his SF Giants predictions, talks about what he makes of Brian Wilson now, and tells us about the comedy scene in England. As always, Daniel Van Kirk is here to bring us crazy stories that involve the return of a mobile strip club to the Detroit Lions tailgating scene, a scatomancer who predicts the future by analyzing fecal matter, and a party loving teen who starts his night in Manchester and ends up 500 miles away in a Paris toilet. Then, we hear how Mark Wahlberg’s Thanksgiving went and what he was thankful for.
