You know what's cool? Making the International Sign Language gesture for the letter J. This "hand j" can be used to show people that you know what's up. This gesture will be sweeping the nation before you know it. The hippies had the peace sign; millenials will be giving each other hand j's until they die of laziness. Anyway, we talk about Michael Ende's  The Neverending Story in this episode. You...
