    There's been a lot on the mind of Viewer Himself in recent days, between work and other recent events. But that's what the show is for, right? Right?!The Main Disembodied Voice of Doom has another Drink Review on tap, and that could lead into a rant Viewer Himself has had about beer prices in recent weeks...which could lead to another rant from MDVD about his misadventures with UberEats.Also, a final, somewhat tragic update on McNugget the Rooster, a weird dream about Maryland, and some strange sleeping patterns that could've led to that dream.Finally, an ode to Fat Pizza, wondering if the one-day cricket format is really still a thing and why it won't work in six-a-side, and an update on a lawsuit filed involving the RCID.The article on what is potentially the new Celebration is here: https://thewaltdisneycompany.com/walt-disney-world-earmarks-80-acres-for-new-affordable-housing-development/It's Sunday night, and you know what that means...You can view the video version of the episode on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/-kB9A-sAX2cWhile you're here, join us on Discord! https://discord.gg/aydMgvUN9d

    Well, needless to say it's been a strange week down on the farm for Viewer Himself. Figuratively and somewhat literally. If it's not dealing with roosters and chickens, it's having to deal with a credit union, a last-minute dinner run, and craziness leading up to the NFL Draft,Aside from that, it's more of your usual, a discussion on how thirsty guys really can be, updates on the developments of RCID, and an in-depth moment that nearly drove Viewer Himself to tears.Plus, it's another ol' fashioned soapbox for the Main Disembodied Voice of Doom, as he also dealt with some particular goings-on at work.
