    Moon Landing

    Moon Landing

    In this episode Britney and Lareina take opposing sides whether they believe it or not and discuss the validity of the Moon landing and the Moon in general. The gals thoroughly enjoy the banter and fun of it all. Lareina's only regret of the day was not referring to the Moon as a giant metal Kinder- Egg, just to see Britney's reaction :)

    The moon landing was suspicious and the Moon is a giant metal Kinder-egg in the sky:
