Jake is an idiot. Well, if you listen to this show on any regular basis, you already know this. We recorded an episode last week and decided to put it up AFTER the 4th of July holiday weekend, as not to get "lost in the shuffle". Well, someone got busy and didn't post it.This week, Ira had a near-death experience and missed the recording for an episode, so it only seemed fitting to post last weeks show. That's just how we fix a fuck up. If you even call that fixed. Enjoy.Support the show (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJ7ceknydhdLovNTfrlamHw)
