GEAR UP, NON-SPORTS FANS! Today we are getting an education in football, and sports in general tbh. It's Michael's time to shine, as I ask him my six most pressing non-stupid, stupid questions about the sport that he loves just a little bit more than me. SO GRAB YOUR FIVE STAR NOTEBOOKS, LISTENERS! TODAY WE ARE GOING TO LEARN! Plus: FAB update, a sad as hell trick-or-treat, and a Daily Dance that will have you praising the lord and shaking what she gave you. GOOOO TEAM!!
With Halloween on the horizon, you would think we would want to be extra *sweet*. But instead, we are getting SOUR AND SALTY about the worst things you can get in your trick-or-treating bag (which was a pillowcase, if you were hardcore). So get ready for a WHOPPER of an episode, where you will laugh and SNICKER...and a daily dance that will have you RAISIN the roof. LOVE YA GHOULIES!!!!!
Confused by this title? ME TOO! It's another chaotic episode for my little ghouls and gays!!
