Ib is in the house! Our oldest and closest buddy, Ibrahim Omar, brings us a couple of pulpy short fiction pieces by the awesome Joe R Lansdale! There's a bunch of level issues that I couldn't fix! It sounds okay though. We cut right when Ib loses all sense of recording etiquette and starts blasting his mic like a jerk! We missed him!

"Mad Dog Summer" and "Incident On and Off a Mountain Road" can be found in The Best of Joe R Lansdale (2010) by Joe R Lansdale.
