Well, this is gonna be a bit of a sad one. Zach wanted to wade into the deep end on something pretty important going on in Utah right now: the slow death of the Great Salt Lake.

But in the meantime, come listen in as the boys get a little nostalgic for their home state...

Okay, it's a bit of a weird one, isn't it? But Andy really likes cooking. He thinks it's cool!
