We'd really appreciate it.

Hey, we are back and still doing the show! This week we are going to a circus and we have a real clown on the show: JPC. We also have a great guest who is NOT a clown at all. She's a wonderful human being named Janet Varney. Hope you enjoy and, if you do, leave us a 5 star review. If you don't enjoy, still leave us a 5 star review but you can be all sarcastic about it.

This week our interpid detectives head a frickin' crime scene and see a frickin' corpse. Sound familiar? Well, that's the show, so it should be sounding familar. But this week there is a Butler involved, hence the cool pun in the title of the episode.

You might listen to this one and think it sounds a little different. Or you might not because we all sound exactly the same to you. Or you might hit play and go directly to sleep. I know at least a few of you do that. Enjoy your weird dreams, sickos!
