Summary

We're back, baby! Join Paige as she takes Mando through the history of Synanon and their pathway to Cedu Schools (but pronounced like Sea-Doo, you know thos jetskis that are like...not jetskis? Actually I looked it up and they qualify them as "personal watercrafts" which feels weird. Huh. Wait, it turns out that Jetskis are like a brand of personal watercrafts. So it's like how Band-Aid or Xerox just became the name for the thing. That's crazy, man. I ain't never thought about Jetskis this much in my life.) Also, we have a Patreon!
