After some pre-show lunch, Ben and Sammi talk about the what the word substance means to them. Ben goes to the UK, buys New Order albums and acts like an ignorant American at the amusement park. Sammi talks about the substance of people and things. Then she shares her struggles and triumphs dealing with substance addiction. The conversation then moves to video games and haptics. It gets a little naughty at the end, but Sammi insists that you Google it.
