Editor’s Note: In this episode, we joked that our location was the “Mundangerous disaster area,” a reference to our recording in Shane’s half-unpacked apartment. We realized in editing that this could be misconstrued as a joke about the devastation caused recently by Hurricanes like Harvey and Irma. It was not intended that way. Please support relief organizations such as The American Red Cross.
