94: Episode 94 - Whoopee!

This is the first and last time we EVER do an April Fool's episode because the joke was on us. Tech issues from beginning to end, and I had to record my end from my phone (apologies for the sound). I ended up having to call the cable company because my internet was SO bad. Turns out we had to have over 100 ft of cable replaced. 



Other Jenn clearly believes it's because I don't eat rye crackers. I don't, won't, and have no plans to start, so...yeah. 



Anyway, who says the ancients didn't have a sense of humor? They did...it was just...a little...off....and maybe a little bloodier. Enjoy our salute to ancient pranksters!
