Welcome to Reverse Psychology. This is another bonus episode discussing Stranger Things, which is both completely done and a cinematic universe that will be milked for decades to come. As before, we will be talking about anything and everything related to the show Stranger Things, so this is your one and only spoiler warning. I'm a little girl with magic powers lost in the woods, Curtis Sheck. Joining me, as always, from the right side up, is a teen bully with a heart of gold and the hair of a god. It's Ryan Sansone. Curtis! I am excited to do some milking tonight. They're milking Stranger Things, we're milking Stranger Things. This is great. Everybody gets milked. Everybody's happy. Do you normally describe yourself in the intro? I never do. You just finally have identified with a character? Yeah. Well, speaking of, normally we would be joined by Brad, but he went missing following a pool party. We assume he'll turn up alive sooner or later, but as a result, we are blessed to have a very special guest host, a woman who will be communicating exclusively through Christmas lights. It's Dani Stevens. Okay, thank you. I am, one, glad that you are comparing Brad to Barb. Two, how much did Ryan pay you to be Steve? Oh, that is surprising. Yeah, you gave yourself a little girl and me, Steve.
Someone brought rules.
