Show Notes Summer Shorts Volume 1: Toxic Pink Houses
It is Memorial Day Weekend here in the US of Murka and that means that all across the land people are heading out for the traditional start of Summer! That also means Host Dave Bledsoe has retreated to the dankest, darkest, dingiest dive bar he can find, swearing he will not come out until Halloween. (He says this every year, he never lives up to it!) 

That also means the start of our series of minisodes (OK, slightly shorter than normal episodes) so the WTH Team can take some time off. (Dave is making Gavin regrout the WTH Studio Bathroom over the long weekend.  What a dick!) These are episodes with topics we found just a little thin for a full length show but didn’t want to give up on entirely. (Because content is content!) This week we are talking about MTV’s Paint The Mutha Pink contest where they gave away a house to a lucky listener! The catch, the house is on a toxic waste dump! (Yay Capitalism!) 

Our return Sponsor is Davey Beer, the cheap beer with Dave’s face on the can. Please enjoy it responsibly. We open with the winner of the house and close with Amanda Watkins talking real estate.
