Summary

This week is a slightly different approach to our show. In the past few weeks, Shipper has had a few people who he was close with, tragically pass away. Due to this, it's caused some interruptions to his life and mindset. When you lose loved ones in your life, it tends to cause introspective thought, as well as remember those we've lost. That's what this episode was, a time to remember some of those who Shipper had recently lost, as well as look into our own lives and the importance of staying in touch with those we love.
