Immediately after we finished talking with our dad (the episode you heard two days ago), we decided to jump right into our "Gump" episode. So we're each already 2 beers in when we START this bad boy. Bearing that in mind, this is a super fun conversation. We DO talk about "Gump." We DO talk about 90s alt music. And we DO talk about a whole lot of other stuff. We're fun, though, so you should like...
