The Dive Down

This week we get... a little loose. Stan's on the run, so we record a catch up episode about Dave's obessions with The Traitors, Shane's obsession with Selling a Vibe, and Stan's general thoughts on deep dish and getting the Led out. Are you more of an In Through the Out Door or a Zoso?
