Send us a text Somehow, we've made 140 of these--very hard to believe. The over/under number from Vegas was 3.5, so we have technically overachieved. With that said, this episode covers a lot of ground and while potentially entertaining, won't make you a better person.

Send us a text We are just getting back to this following our hiatus, and either Jim was way too amped up or Mark sabotaged Jim in editing to make it sound like he was interrupting--a lot.

Send us a text Due to scheduling conflicts (we're both very popular), we had to reach into the pantry and pull an episode off the shelf. This one can be described as old and sorta loose. Grow up.

Send us a text They say size doesn't matter (well Mark does, anyway), but this one flowed so well, that we ran long. No extra charge.

Send us a text Pulled this episode off the shelf due to summer schedules. Originally recorded after Part 1 on March 14. Swear Alert--Jim drops more F-bombs than usual (he's working on it).
