We got together for Episode 4, and let’s just say the conversation went EVERYWHERE. 

From embarrassing bathroom situations...to our opinions on visible tattoos and piercings during performances. Absolutely nothing was off-limits.

I apologize for the time delay as we met a couple weeks ago. My schedule has me stretched thin, but I think you’ll really enjoy, “Clam Slam” 

And finally, I’d like to formally apologize for the truly unnecessary amount of time we spent talking about going #2.
