They're back with another episode! My Grey's class does Episode V of their really great Podcast!

In this episode:

• Any Way You Want It- Dan and Bryan bring you another YUMMY cookie segment with David C. as their guest. His recipe is so EASY, and we can tell you from experience, they sure are tasty cookies. Look how easy this is...mix 1 cup of peanut butter, 1 cup of sugar, and 1 egg. Bake for 10-12 minutes at 350 degrees. Sprinkle on some sugar, and don't forget to make that nifty criss-cross pattern with a fork. Also, Jamie reports in on his awesome collection of baseballs.
• Daredevil's Corner- Have you ever rocked out on the air guitar? How about on the air keyboard...computer keyboard that is. Tori and Charlie give it a try while singing a very interesting song about the home row. We dare you to get the song out of your head once you listen.
  
• Did You Know- Geckos. That's all we really need to say about this Did You Know. Just listen to what Vicky and Katie R. have to go through trying to give you some interesting facts.
  Our Perspective- Have you ever tried selling something on eBay? Erica and Sarah Grace bring us a story about someone who takes eBay to a whole other level. Read the story by clicking here.
  
• Email and Blog- McCall and David N. have one of our most prolific emailers in to chat about our show. They also give a desperate plea for more of your emails!
  
• Top 5- Bill and Vanessa are put to the test when Tyler stops by to see if they can come up with a top 5 (well, top 10 really) list of things to do with a common household item. Check out their uncommon answers.
  
• Riddlers- Ryan and Jamie keep us rolling with some pretty outstanding jokes. They also pose a riddle made up from one of our classmates. See if you can come up with the answer and email us your response.
  

We hope you enjoy this episode, and remember to drop us an email or leave a comment on our blog to let us know what you would like to hear in the next episode!
