Episode 147: The Road to Las Vegas III: It's Elementalry!

Shane's gone so Stan and Dave are finally free to do whatever they want. And what they want to do is play too many colors and evoke some elementals! At least that's what they thought they wanted to do — we think? That's right, for the third in our Road to Vegas series we tackle the element... als.

Somewhere, Shane is being cool. Unnecessary Anecdote: The Beach Boys!
