About
Like plenty of bad media enjoyers, the Boob Tube Boys have been watching Kirk Cameron content for years, and now it’s time to talk about the show that launched his sideways career, Growing Pains. This week, Cameron’s Mike is looking to get lucky, and he winds up at party with some older kids.
Things are going well until Mike discovers the party has cocaine, something that is much less of a deterrent for his pals Eddie and Boner. Will Mike stay true to Cameron’s real life morals, or will the temptation of impressing a girl grow too much to bear?
Brian, Spencer, and Van talk about Alan Thicke’s music career, pies made of crackers, and babysitters who aren’t afraid to ask for the salary they deserve.
Highlights
-Brian is Dr. Bunsen Honeydew
-The BTBs learn all about group toots
-Leatherhead crawls back into the conversation

About
Growing Pains is less Cameron centric this week, as the BTBs mostly talk about Mike’s sister Carol instead. Carol bumps into Matthew Perry at a college library while looking for some F. Scott Fitzgerald and the two quickly fall for one another.
Carol is typically a rule follower, but her attraction to Matthew Perry is far too great to ignore, and she devises a plan to invite him over with her parents out of the house. When the Seaver parents come home early from a Joe Namath musical, Matthew Perry is forced to hide from them.
Boob Tube Boys Hot Potato will continue later this month with Spencer’s pick for Van, but first it’s time for Good Show Week, the one time of the year guaranteed not to feature Kevin Sorbo!
Highlights
-A discussion of Matthew Perry, who is featured heavily and passed away after the recording of this episode
-The truth about the bible’s forbidden fruit
-This year’s Good Show Week topic reveal!
