Diner Discussions

Season 4 was short, but not short enough for Aaron to mess up enough for an outtake episode. Laugh at his expense in this bonus episode full of tragic tales and comedy.

At The Diner, everything is meticulously thought out and timing is everything. Sometimes for whatever reason after we finish an episode it doesn’t fit into the flow of things. The timing isn’t right, the theme doesn’t match or events outside of our control set things back. When this happens some episodes get put into the vault waiting for there chance to be released. Here’s one of those episodes. Enjoy this episode from the vault.
