Round One in the books and we even got our first upset, comeback, and controversy... that equals plenty to talk about this week!

http://board8.speedrunwiki.com/interviews/theshow/20170511-TheShowEP04.mp3

Warning, things get a little emotional in the early going so get your tissues ready. We power through it to deliver all the hot content or listeners demand:

* Our first new guest in two years (wow!), whatisurnameplz
* 2011's big upset aka the 2006 picture controversy
* In depth breakdown of all results the past week
* What years are looking best for R2 and beyond, including...
** with 1998 showing a hint of weakness, does 2001's dominating win give it a shot at the upset? who has the edge in the 1994/1991 showdown?
* Our picks for the biggest Stars and Turds of R1

As always here's the full bracket if you want to use it to help follow along

More dominant than Conte's Juventus, that is DpOblivion's guru bracket.

Hey Ngamer, wouldn't 2006 being the heavy board favourite have tipped the board vote in its favour?

Hey Ngamer, wouldn't 2006 being the heavy board favourite have tipped the board vote in its favour?

Yes for sure, I meant to open that for discussion (was the board vote because we're "smarter" and realize 2006 is deeper, or were we moreso just protecting our brackets?) but we already spent 20 minutes hashing out other aspects of that match so I just moved on instead.
