Season 3 Finale

WARNING: The sound is terrible. Three people, two mics, and a kitchen do NOT go together well. I did my best to balance things out, but occasionally someone is loud. 
 
Thank you SO MUCH for sticking around for the end of Season 3! This is a casual episode with everyone's favorite weird movie fanatic, Greg Pizzino! We talk lake monsters, UFOs, and more! 
 
Thank you to LynBDesigns for sponsoring us this season! Be sure to check out LynBDesigns.store!
