Our guy bear needs some help! He was in a bad motorcycle accident and won't be able to work for a few months while he recovers. Bear's brought us many, many joys over the years and it's the least we can do to give back a little. If you can afford to spare a couple bucks please do! 
Ok, thank you, we love you. Bear loves you. We love Bear. And we'll be back with a full episode next Saturday (4/6). See ya soon!
