Ep 95 - Rod Serling & Martha Washington
(ft comedians David Bluvband & Rebecca Robles) This episode had so many twists I honestly can't make heads or tails of it. There were Hitler's and dinosaurs, that is all I can say, and Martha was at one point locked up in a basement for a few months. jarretberenstein.com @justjarret

Ep 87 - Rowdy Roddy Piper & Edward the Eighth
(ft comedians Austin Sanders & Tim Platt) I made a lot of mistakes in this episode. I mistakenly called Edward the Eighth a former king but he was NEVER coronated.

Ep 84 - Dean Martin & President Taft
