The Secret Lair Episode 0013: Origins 2008

Reporting from Room 929 at the Crown Plaza hotel, Overlord Johnson is joined by sometime-nemesis David Moore and almost-never-nemesis Mario Dongu, both of The Game Master Show,  for the Origins 2008 report. Shannon Farrell is also present, but he quickly flees in terror, and rightly so.
