KID PRESIDENT: ARE WE THERE YET | BAGGAGE

Robby and Brad traveled to Springfield, Missouri to visit Kyle who is putting on "A Funeral for the People We Used to Be." He is collecting submissions from people of all the things they want to let go about the past so he can burn them in a cardboard viking ship. If you want to send him the things you'd like to let go of, you can visit http://www.vikingfuneral.me/
