January 16 103 - Oops! All Psalty! (With Katie Hampton)
This week Katie Hampton of the Christian Cringe & Napping Through Happy Hour podcasts joins the insanity in Lake Skabegon. The Squids waste no time and dive right into the chaos as they discuss experiencing CCM content, steamy Christian novels, Carman, Katie's podcasts, Rocky Paterra's classic "Let Jesus Be A Vegetable", play a game, and then Jared gets in a fight with AI Jesus. In other words, just another Failure Puddle Friday!
