    I don't know about you, but we were feeling 22 when we made this episode. Not really. We felt very much like two 29 year olds. But that's just old people shit. Speaking of old people, we spoke about old people. Tom Brady, Phillip Rivers, Drew "Midnight" Bree, etc. We also discussed the Bulls and the Bears. This episode much like every episode we do was dedicated to the memory of our lost hero and best friend Harambe. Rest In Power King.
