    Heyo compadres! We've taken a nice long leave of absence to all settle into our new abodes. Don't hate us, but Daniel lives in Ft. Worth now so the format has changed ever so slightly. Only Dylan and Richie will be in the same room while Daniel calls in every week. Maybe it's better this way with his foot rot... Anyway, this week we cover some dated news about Elon Musk, we crush Vin Diesel's tabletop cheating spirits(an accusation completely unfounded), and we discuss the up and coming social network called Vero. Cheers!

Daniel is off in Ft Worth-land being all architecty, so we're gonna hit ya with our ground zero first recorded episode ever. We were still trying to work out what the show meant to us and what we wanted from it, but feel good about the raw vulnerable energy encased in this original beaut'. Cheers!

    Heyo, so glad you've returned to us for a third consecutive week. This week's show was shot a little over two weeks ago so bare with us on these perhaps slightly latent references. As Daniel is in the middle of his big move to another city, we will probably release another older episode next week as well. But fear not as we will then be back with fresh new gags the following week. This week we touch on the Musk brothers, alien attacks, dirty old Craigslist, and other edgy things. As always, let us know what you think and thanks for listening!
