The third host Alex lives! He was temporarily defeated by seasonal allergies but he’s back in action on this week’s show. We’ve got a bunch of great stories on this episode along with the usual friendly banter. Our live show audience is growing by the week, so be sure to drop by and say hello. We’re live every Monday night on USTREAM at 8:30 here in Japan. See you then!
