We tried some new things with this episode. And it left us with six hours of audio. Yeah, I know. I've cut it down to about half that, but let us know if you prefer future episodes to be shorter and looser, or longer and more in depth. Just as long as we don't have to record for six hours again.

A big thanks to our friend Kerri for joining us. Her laugh is almost as sinister and chipmunky as Evie's.

Skype was a pain in the ass the night of the recording, garbling and skipping words, and cutting out on people left and right. I edited around it as best I could (we recorded for over two hours), but the occasional issue still slipped through, and we apologize if the final conversation feels a little scattered as a result. We would have stopped and rescheduled, but we were having too much fun.

A big huge wonderful sensational not at all desperate thank you to Dayna from Made of Fail. While child services would likely disagree, she's the best parental figure any podcast could ask for.

As we're sure you'll note early on, Noel doesn't talk for long stretches during the first half, and when he does, there's often the sounds of banging in the background. That's because, we kid you not, a maintenance dude showed up to fix a leaking faucet, something Noel requested two months ago, literally less than a minute before we were about to start recording. Since we'd rescheduled things twice already, we just decided to plug ahead, and an extra thanks must be given to Dayna's ranting skills so Noel could often mute his mic over the noise.
