Ep.84 - Faith & Begorrah Mar 11, 2019

Show notes

Episode Notes

Happy St. Patrick's Day! Well, soon I guess. We celebrate in the X-Men way by just winging it based on cultural sterotypes that are probably a little insensitive. It is a very X-Men way to celebrate, that is for sure. Anyway we rushed to get this out so it isn't as editied as usual, sorry about that but I think it still turned out fun.
