Ep 68 - Mishmash

This episode is three pretty unrelated things (except for the fact that all three things are unhealthy/fried). We still have Disney part 2 to edit and we just recorded an episode about Mill Street Brewery and Izumi fresh pressed sake made right in downtown Toronto! Try and stay cool everyone!
