What are “bleep” settings, our local corporate sponsor, failed recordings, @smolderkisses, stuff we’re supposed to like, Battlestar Galactica, South Park re: Scientology, geocentricity, taxes, drill holes on Mars, wrestling, the Hitlernet, drones, oral treats, cosmic fear-mongering, Tunguska event, avoiding midlife crisis, quitting for Jesus, DC-8s, the Catholic quitter, North Korea’s latest antics, X-band radar, and machine operating permits…among other things. We also meet a new friend and discuss the finer points of jewry.

On this episode we discuss Hawaiians, “chiseling”, bit-torrent, friends with better plans, tips on speech making, asteroid mining, m-f** Jupiter, tycoons, and much more. We train-wrecked the first episode so we decided to release this episode instead. It was originally intended to be a test episode but turned out good enough to release. We apologize in advance for the audio quality. We’ve since corrected it with new mics and a mixer.
