Episode 98 - The Lost(ish) Episode

Arguably our LEAST TOPICAL episode to date, Episode 98 was recorded in early June, then fell victim to reshuffling and “life” (at one point optimistically speculating a release date of July 21).  This one contains such exciting things as a lesson in Norse Mythology, the continuation of the house hunting saga (which we all know has been resolved; I am posting this from my NEW HOUSE) and Jaime self- diagnosing ailments.

By way of updates:

Jaime went to a bunch of Birthday Parties

Loki was topical in June

I bought a house and moved on the day of the hurricane Ida

….and the cat died.

All of which will be illuminated in Episodes 99 and 100
