Episode 0018 - Brakes by B Squad

Lefty retells skidding off the road and gets a score of 6.3 from the judges. Then we all jump into the brake system. Wondering off topic no less than 3 times(and probably more). CAUTION! there is an unpleasant hissing for a very short segment in this episode. See the show links below.
