    First, we’ll go over what we’ve been reading and watching, our beer of the week, some news, and then our Agatha predictions as the final two episodes are set to premier tomorrow night!v (Boy we were way wrong)

    Finally, as our official main topic we will be discussing the weekend that was our Orlando adventures! We’re talking Fridays adventures at Magic Kingdom, Epcots drinking around the world, Saturdays tailgate and adventures, and then the whirlwind that was Jacksonville. It began as a fun tailgate, then got wild as an old man tried to fight Matt, then got hot, then wild as a random brewery patron tried to fight Matt, then ended with Matt passing out on Lauren’s couch and her Josh putting a blanket on him, taking his glasses off, and giving him a forehead kiss goodnight
