Show #23!
Crazy stuff has been happening here in Southern California! We've been a little delayed because of the wildfires that swept through the area, but we can't really blame all of the delay on a disaster, now can we? Yes, it's true, we have had trouble putting shows together on a regular bi-weekly basis, but we do have a new show ready for you. Check it out below!
Thanks to Kathleen in Macedonia for her e-mail which sparked conversation about Prison Break, Ninja Warrior Challenge, Don Henley and Baywatch and The Dukes of Hazzard as American exports.
Also, thanks go out to Kristen for calling in a review of Bee Movie.
We have a great Pop Culture Confessional this time...confessing our favorite TV shows when we were kids. Trevor left us a voicemail about his favorite shows...Inspector Gadget and the Care Bears!??!
It's Show #23 and it is all of the pop culture goodness your brain can handle...
