Ep. 115 – We Hired a Sitter #3



This is my second time posting this episode. I made a mistake on the first upload. Apologies to our loyal listeners who eagerly await each episode drop like it’s the McRib at McDonald’s or Pumpkin Spice Latte back in stock at Starbucks. Basically, this episode is a wild ride in podcast experimentation. It’s Guerrilla Podcasting, folks! Anything can happen. Mistakes get made. Chronology be damned! The last segment in this episode was recorded first! Or was it? I don’t know anymore. But the point is, I messed up editing so this one is correct. I hope you enjoy!!!!
