@iainlee.com on a “YouTube vault shuffle getting ready in the morning” listen, there’s a NYD 2018 ep where your boys were in the studio, one wanted to ask if ppl had seen a ghost, then got scared. It’s adorable, hope you/they hear it back all these years on. My older teens love reminiscing like that
