Thanks for listening, Cheers!

Chuggalos! Disclaimer, we only recorded one beer on this pod, not because we didnt have two but because we had some sort of technical error...that you'll see at the end of this video. For our first (and only) beer we had 3Floyds: Cat Date.....we are sorry that all the Chuggalos will miss out on the winning lottery numbers as well as the Oscar winners we gave in the second half, but JT promises if we remember next week we will give them then. Sorry for the technical difficulties, we hope that you enjoyed the 200th episode as much as we did it only gets better from here! Cheers!
