The Talk Shoppe

Just when you thought we were gone...

We are BACK with a much delayed Megasode to summarize the year of 2023. You all know the drill: we meander through music, television, movies, video games, and disappointments in typical scatterbrained and raucous fashion. If it can be a joke, it will be a joke. So join us, if you will, in our continuing journey to bring laughter and entertainment to up to 10 people! WE'RE NOT DONE YET!
