    Dear Pennies and Pallers,

    This week we are re-joined by our friend Todd Glass! Letter one comes from Derek, a Paller who asks us about our daily rituals. In letter two, Kristin asks us, what is something that you absolutely love to do or experience, but if you did it all day everyday forever and ever, it would slowly turn into a torturous hellscape? We also talk about peeing in the pool at the pool bar, washing your legs in the shower, TombStone pizzas...again..., and more!

    We wish you well, sincerely,
