We're always thankful for new episodes and always look forward to hanging out with you! (even though sometimes we don't like the episodes because they "remind us about how much better the show used to be" and why the hell are those kids playing so close to our driveway? You can't trust them these days with their bell bottoms, long hair, and hacky sacks)

See you next week!
