(I'm still trying to figure that one out) 

The theme this week is music and games focused around a single word! Well, since there are 2 hosts it's really 2 words. But then they talk for way too long during the intro of the show and that's many more words! Also, stay tuned in through the episode for a fun word-puzzle game that drives Pernell insane!

We care about the important things on this show. Hanging out with friends, listening to music, the family business.
