-How the heck do you score points in the terrifying sport?
-Do the players get dizzy going around and around and around and around...

Take a listen to this fast paced mini-episode to discover who Abby and Amy (and their former guest expert: Syreeta Combs-Cannaday - Episode 3 "9021-Oh, No She Didn't") found 'all that and a bag of chips' in their formative years in the 90s.
A&A held onto this outtake from one of their first guests for a reason. I mean, how could you not love Devon Sawa, JTT, and... John Malkovich! Yeah, you read that right!
