Conchord Crazy

So, this is a really small podcast, and a clip from the first episode with the duo’s fanbase, also known as Mel. It’s the first taste that everyone gets into finding out just how disturbing she is.
The podcast opens with her coming out from a stairwell next door to Bret and Jemaine’s apartment, and when asked what she was doing there, she said….jogging.
