I’m actually just getting home from Boone’s Saloon where I got to play with these two for the first time, while Greg from Episode 48 hosted. They are the perfect combination of hilarious and interesting, and if they never do a podcast of their own, we are going to miss out on a lot of great stories. I will keep the pressure on.

In this game, Sam was looking for Anatomy & Physiology, 2010s Pop Culture, and The Sopranos. Vicky was in search of questions on Zoology, Movies, and King of the Hill.

This won’t be the last you hear from them on here either.
