On a special Thursday night recording, Eli Sairs aka The Roast Ghost talks with Waelti about which character from teen dramas in the early 2000s they would be, how it’s more fun to hate something than to like it and how proposing to your girlfriend when your relationship is on the rocks is a good idea.
