I don’t often get into deeply personal stuff on this show but for episode 69 I will make a rare exception.  My Amar’e Stoudemire headphones broke into pieces during the recording of this program and it’s hard for me to put into words how upsetting this is.  You can keep your Koss, your Beyer-Dynamics, your Sennheiser cans.  True audiophiles know that Amar’e Stoudemire Skullcandy headphones are the real shit.  Or at least they were before they broke into pieces.
 
 All of that said, much the way Amar’e Stoudamire dealt with adversity during his playing career, battling thru myriad injuries, I somehow worked thru the tears and managed to complete a show that I think ranks somewhere in the top 65 of those recorded to date.  But I don’t want to toot my own horn so much, I would rather let history be the judge.
