This week is a bit different to the usual episodes. Due to some light (heavy) rain causing flooding and a breif visit to his parents house for a week, Aaron had no time to research an episode this week. So as a once off, the bois will just be chatting this week, as chatting requires no hours of research.
Normal service will resume one next fortnights episode (unless this one is a smash hit and we get sponsored. Looking at you, Allen's Lollies....).
