WARNING: In this episode Adam & Lowery are already deep in their cups even before the episode begins due to the back to back recordings.  One of us gets pretty gassy and it may have been caught on the mic... multiple times.  If you're grossed out by bodily functions you may want to skip the last 10 minutes.  If you can stick through it you're in for quite a treat :D
