                                We are out on the lake this week. Knee deep in some fishing. It is a very shallow lake. We have to be a little quiet out here, lest we scare those finned fiends, so pop in your headphones and listen as we talk about Cartoon Cartoon, fishing memories, and Tanner’s predicament.

                                    Now in the care of Dave Seville's nephew (Zachary Levi), chipmunks Alvin, Simon and Theodore take a break from pop-music stardom and return to school. Almost immediately, the tiny tunesmiths get the giant task of saving their school's music program by winning a battle-of-the-bands contest. Though the boys think winning it will be easy, romantic and musical sparks fly when they meet Brittany, Eleanor and Jeannette -- also known as The Chipettes.

                                        Hey fans. We were unable to sit down and record this week, so here is a reissue of another favorite episode.

                                        Uhhh yeah I'll take a number 78 with extra goofs. Could you put some extra tangents on that please? Thanks a lot. I sure hope the toy in my meal is either a small piece of a candy bar, a Fry Guy, or the biggest heist the fast food world has ever seen.
