WELCOME TO A MONTH OF FRIENDS! For the entirety of July, Luke and Quinn are chatting it up each week with a Friend. We had to start the month off right with one of our first and best fans *drumroll please* GIVE IT UP FOR INA - Die Blume Deutschlands und ein toller Freund!!! (Ina...you were asleep when we were writing this so apologies if this isn't correct. For those who have judgements...I'M LEARNING OK?!) It was truly a pleasure to sit down and chat with Ina, and we hope you have as much fun as we did :)

Talking points this week: Overall lovely chat, German cryptids, linguistic anomalies and differences, Wolpertingers, and an AITA that involves a man trying to commit birth fraud and yelling at a nurse. It's gonna be a doozy ;)
