Episode 0006, Part 2: Make It So!

After a quick breather, we’re back this week with Part 2 of Chapter 0006! Journey with Albert and Crowley as they gush over Steve Perry, talk about picking up trashy women with Better Off Dead, roll one with Sid and Marty Kroft, and then sober up with Star Trek: The Next Generation! No wolves or leppards were injured in the making of this podcast. Enjoy!
