Dear Podcast Listener, Welcome to 162 Candles!  If you thought we cried a lot last week, this week we will drown you in 162 teardrops that we shed, forming a pool as deep as an ocean, an ocean that contains “Damon’s” “medallion” (yes double quotes) and the treasure of Cortés himself and Nikki’s houseplant, Jeremy.
