Jeff and Roman are missing Django this week, so we've got a significantly smaller number of fart jokes. But that doesn't seem to hurt the flow of the podcast!

Oh My Me! Oh My Me!!

It’s Jeff, everybody! Andrew is away on a MUCH-NEEDED trip to the Philippines of all places! What a wonderful and industrious fella that Andrew is.

Well, in his stead, I’ve dusted off the editing software and cobbled SOMETHING together from the blathering Jeff, Roman, & Django did this week.

No spoilers here, but…. there are A LOT of high scores this week. Like…. most of MY comics were in the “9-range” but make sure and drink plenty of water, because I believe Roman dropped a handful of Geoducks. Buckle up, it’s gonna be messy!
