Before we jump into the next chunk of this arc we wanted to take a moment to answer y’all’s burning questions! Thank you all so much for writing in. We always love doing these eps since it gives us a chance to wild out a bit. Next episode we will I guess go into some sort of worse place than Prison Planet so that is something nice to think about. I think one of the planes was entirely on fire? Working on our tans would be nice, I guess… Anyways I don’t think there are any controversial questions this time (Pie is better than Cake) but feel free to scream at your listening device along with us.
Q&A[]
A Note: I try to spell everyone's name as accurately as I can. Since, I don't know the names, I might get them wrong. Sorry if you see your's or a loved one's name on here, and it's misspelled. Also, I am not trying to write down verbatim what each person said in his/her/their questions, but they are in quotes. It's confusing, but it's fine. I'm paraphrasing.
