Before we get it everything this week, as you can probably tell by now,

it's going to be an audio-only version of the show. Our producer Casey Lyd and is on vacation.

The man deserves a vacation, as does Esther Lynn, so no video this week, but it will return next week just in time for a brand new episode of the show.
