The Fusion Reactor #245 - Good Thing, Bad Thing

This show plays off the improv game "Good Thing, Bad Thing." In the game, the players tell a story "round robin" style, only they must build on the story with one saying something good, and the next saying something bad. So obviously, the story has its ups and downs.

For the show, I tried to keep that theme going with positives and negatives, although so many of them depend on the situation. But here are the songs:
