  <description>&lt;p&gt;Do you use evil tech? Yes. Have you given out your DNA? Maybe. Why is iPad multitasking so awkward? Because. Can you record a Grammy award winning album in your bedroom? Yes you can. Would you stay in an Atari hotel? Sure. Can you spin a wheel to come across great paranormal stories? Your favourite duo does just that, and they discuss ghosts, ufos in pop culture, and a big muddy monster. Also: Angelo gives an update on the haunted house he mentioned in the previous episodes. &lt;/p&gt;
