Games and Groceries – Details, episodes & analysis

Well...we didn't want to make this video...we didn't think we would have to make this video...but we came to this decision together and we want to explain why in this final video. 

We had some great time doing the show, but it's time to hang things up here and move on to other things. Games and Groceries might be over, but we're not stopping here...more is to come from us.
