What does one do when they have an embarrassing poem from the 90s set to paper with a typewriter? Dig that thing out and bring it on the show! That's what PJ Temple did this week, and when she was looking for the one that haunted her, she found a forgotten one as well! Dave and Aaron are all the happier for it. Listen as PJ spins wonderful stories about her past and present helping us understand these works.
