TBA - Episode 43: Covered in Steam

TBA - Episode 42: Shocking!
Every time Emmett tries to play music she is shocked by something. Is it some kind of experiment that Klaude is doing or is she simply tormenting Emmett?

coming soon. - Episode 41: Vote!
The sisters had a fun evening discussing the new President Elect - "The Reanimated Corpse of Prince Albert with the brain of Marie Curie & the Right Arm of a Monkey". However, due to some technical difficulties the cylinder did not record properly and the show was lost. So, hopefully, you were one of the lucky few who got to hear it live.
