Happy April Fools. This is a non canonical goof, written by Interiority our season 2 crowdfund.

It is recommended you listen to the S1 blooper reel before listening, as some of the jokes are references to that.

It is also recommended you have a stiff drink on hand. I chose bourbon, but I leave the decision up to you.
