60. Supernatural Itch Cream (DNA test the Sun)

Happy 60th episode! Today Max is going to tell us why you shouldn't use ointment that wasn't prescribed to you, and Janey is going to tell us a Navajo tale about monster hunting (and paternity testing.) Thanks to everyone whose journeyed with us this far!
