Santa Barbara, The Mayor, & Nerf Herder

In this VERY SPECIAL EPISODE, we venture to Santa Barbara (aka Sunnydale) at the request of THE MAYOR ( Helene Schneider , who is, as best we can tell, not evil *at all* but a totally lovely human, as well as a Buffy fan)! We chat with Helene -- and also Parry Gripp and Steve Sherlock of Nerf Herder (!!!) who of course you know WROTE AND PERFORMED the Buffy theme (eeeeeee) and brought us an unbelievable gift.
