As we head into finals weekend in Rome, the gang is back together to break down the latest stories from the Italian clay. Jack, John, Sam, and Stevie relive their best and worst memories in the Eternal City.

In this week’s Mailbag special, the boys tackle your questions, reminiscing about fanny pack tourist missions and the time Sam got hustled on a selfie stick.

And finally, the Aura Draw is here but there’s still one wildcard slot up for grabs…
