To celebrate our 100^th episode we are all together including Matt who helped us get the show started back in the day. We all picked our top songs to be played at our own funerals. We play parts and discuss why we like them. This is a pretty long episode but an important one to me personally so I hope you all enjoy.

*We clearly do not own the rights to any of this music. All rights belong to their respective labels, blah, blah blah.

Chad and Amanda speak with our friend, and previous guest, Brianna about a 20/20 special about gay conversion therapy camps. Also a little bit about a new Trans-Bathroom bill that is popping up in Texas and then just a little bit of everything at the end.

** During this recording you will hear a bit of yelling in the background. I apologize for my friends not being able to play a quiet card game and instead played the loudest game they could think of. People are not dying, they are just being competitive.
