This week Gabe starts us off by sharing a second time a place he lived was burglarized. The guys then spend some time talking about all things Star Wars. We thought this episode would be released closer to the Star Wars movie coming out, but we couldn’t wait that long! The guys end the episode with some improv fun inspired by the break in, and it gets super nerdy by the end.
