Hey guys, it’s me, Alexx! In this episode we are joined again by Shaun McGann the patron saint of New Jersey and lost travelers. We discussed: Being in our thirties; the perils of finding a relationship; how knowing too much about an artist can affect your opinion of them; and, of course, Star Wars/Indiana Jones. Enjoy!
