Together, they engage on a debate over MP3 conversion issues, mastering standards, data compression issues, and what radio does to broadcast audio. Joey and James each catch each other with incorrect information, and Glen chimes in sporadically. Oh, and cheap flashlights!

In this dreadfully late and unprepared episode, our heroes talk gear and the uses of gear and what gear hasn't yet been used for.  James shares stories of hiding booze in coffee cups, Joey complains about the homeless and how he wants gear to be cheaper, and they discuss the merits of REALLY unmatched overheads on drums.  The episode ends with a discussion about more gear Joey wants.  Sorry for being late everyone!
