and welcome to the gleamette of the geek podcast episode 71 And for the second week in a row, we've got plenty of big news. We've got... Yeah, second emergency episode as well. Second emergency episode. I think we're going to post this one on a Friday, even. No, we did last time, right? No, we didn't. Because we didn't record it until Friday. You didn't post it Friday? I don't know what we're... I'm going to post it Thursday night. We're off to a bad stuff. We're probably going to post it Thursday that Friday. Semantics aside. Another big trade. Another big trade. You know, really the big story here is the second straight Linkorama has been pushed off, pushed aside on my blog by a twins trade. Wow.

Which breaks John's rule of never going back to the same place twice, except we tried to go to Tavenon France. But they told this was a half hour wait. Half hour wait.

2:20.4

Yeah, but's a holiday.

2:19.4

I'm afraid you're going to get crabby when you fast. Yeah, but could you really tell the difference? I'm crabby when I eat. I'm crabby when I fast. Did you eat lunch before last podcast?
