(Don’t blame me - you guys asked for it!) All we can say is, you think it can’t get any worse, and then it does.This episode is sponsored by Coke/Dope.**Not really. Please don’t sue us. Lees meer

What’s so traumatizing about a torso?Perhaps most importantly, we get our FIRST FAN MAIL but our excitement quickly devolves into concern when we can’t decode its mysterious symbols. (For real guys, if we go missing, blame this anonymous person in Utah.)Christine also rescues a bug, but Em doesn’t approve of that segment. And that’s why we drink! Lees meer
