64. Gobble Those Guts (is this some kind of Mario?)

Hello all! On this episode Max is going to tell us a classic story about a witch, some guts, and some crustaceans (and she's finally going to ansWer the age-old question-- what's in a name?) And Janey is going to make us all fall in love with an evil enchanter. (Mark our words, you'll be smitten.)

And thank you, Keith. Just.... thank you. Thank you for what you do, and, perhaps more importantly... thank you for what you do not do.
