Right! And now that I know he makes them is even more wholesome 🤧

Same! When I saw the trailer for this season of puppet history I was blown away! I never knew Shane was so artistically talented (with puppets, things that require a range of motion)! I love seeing his wacky creativeness get its own spotlight with puppet history!

I was telling my friends about Shane and my description was "this man fears nothing but avocado pits and heroin."

Yeah, it was the right move I think. But also, I'm addicted to Unsolved and it's killing me that this pandemic is standing between us and a new season... (TBF tho, Aria's piece on his dad's friend's disappearance was amazing. Y'all should watch that if you haven't already.)
