Summary
I have so much to cover tonight! I heard about an insane purge-style ball game in England but I get into that after I talk about my delay in posting this week’s episode. I share that I am now a guy with “readers” but after this past weekend, I am also a guy that loves card shows and doesn’t care about the cards. I have an update about my pursuit to get a picture with Rhonda and I slide a rant in while covering the Holi-Days like, Day Of The Dude. And as always, I read The Tribune! For Premium Subscribers, I give my reviews of Crime 101 and “Wuthering Heights” and we continue our Sopranos watch-along-podcast with Episode 3, “Denial, Anger, Acceptance"!
Thank you to Aaron Brungardt for engineering, mixing, and production expertise, Geoffrey Tice for artwork, Bobby TBD for theme music, and All Things Comedy for their support, production, and distribution.

| 0:55.2 | And I know this may be an area that you don't find interesting or care about. |
| 0:59.8 | You can go to sleep. |
| 1:02.3 | But I'm going to stare at this until it hits that mark again because the recording wasn't there. |
