There will never be enough time in the day to watch all those television shows that people are always talking about, or to catch up on the ones you may have missed. But on today's podcast episode we experiment with a new way to alleviate TV FOMO, by only watching the first and last episode of a show. Does it do the trick? Can you go to parties and pretend you've seen the whole show? Find out as Jen, Brendan, and special guest Rob give it a try with Supernatural!
