Summary
Andres and Lyanne are friends of the show. Truly. In fact, they are some of the first "Miami Friends" that Andrea and I met through our friendship with Tom and Crystal. They are precious to me. Seriously. As I get older, the laughs I get with them become more and more precious, and when it's just me here at the studio, posting the show, I get a little sentimental. Everything is just happening so FAST! Hahaha... Thanks to those who caught the stream live, and we'll see you back here on Monday! - d
