So it's about that time, summer is coming up, and we are counting down the days until school is out. We have some big plans, a lot of trips we want to go on, we’re even thinking about reprising our roles from Big Time RV. If you haven't seen Big Time RV, then where have you been? We made an appearance on that show a couple years ago, and it was funny because the editors made some… interesting choices.

Well apparently it's being done because of the low cost of hosting it there and despite the billions of dollars being spent on stadiums, there is no money going into the schools to give basic facilities for students. What's being done about this? What can we do? Tune in to find out!
