Today's very special episode of the Giant Beasts cast is brought to you by Credit Karma.

When's the last time you checked your credit scores?

Your scores may change more often than you think, and you should know what they are now,

not from a year ago. Credit Karma is here to help out.

And Credit Karma is always free, and apparently there's no catch, and also oddly enough,

no credit card needed. Go to CreditCarma.com or download the Credit Karma app now.

Thanks Credit Karma.

Hello everyone, and welcome to a very special edition of the Giant Beasts cast.

We'll call this episode 138. I call it another bonus episode,

because we don't have time to do clip shows, and this is a very hard to do.

And because nobody is here in the office for this Thursday, Jeff Baklar is at a CES.

Alex Navarro is out wandering the world as a nomad on some very well-deserved personal time off.

Yes, I am Vinnie.

Oh gee, so breaking it. I am back there.

I am probably, hopefully, out of Doctor, getting great news about my shoulder,

and Dan and Abby are baking stuff.

I'm just going to sleep in.

I'm just going to sleep in. That's a great reason not to do the podcast.

I agree. Thanks for helping me sell it.

And sleeping is very important.

I don't know how to press those buttons.

Abby's getting caught up on all the work that he's been waiting for, because it's a very long vacation.
