WARNING: The sound is terrible. Three people, two mics, and a kitchen do NOT go together well. I did my best to balance things out, but occasionally someone is loud. 
 
Thank you SO MUCH for sticking around for the end of Season 3! This is a casual episode with everyone's favorite weird movie fanatic, Greg Pizzino! We talk lake monsters, UFOs, and more!
