Look out, don't let the train get you. I'm kidding, there is no train. Unless. . . On a special, very sleepy episode John and Jeremy have a competition over competing. It's a little more specific then that but I don't wanna give too much away, ya know? Also, Don't listen to this one while operating heavy machinery or, like, weapons. Okay love u bye
