We had an impromptu 5 person recording featuring Mark, Jim, Jim's wife Kris, son Alex and Daughter-in-Law Sara.  Ambitious topic of Comedy Movies meant we had to get to the topic in record time.  Fun episode--hope you enjoy.

This one is another where we recorded two episodes in one night.  Since this is the second of the night, the language gets a little rough (earmuffs for sure).  Sorry, Mom.  Also, thanks for listening!

Big week for The Ascertainers.  Your boys hit the town to attend a Bee Gee's tribute show and looked fabulous!  We also got our t-shirts in, so we feel more official.

Not much of an update this week, other than (for a change) we both thought this was a pretty good episode--some laughs, some good-natured ribbing (phrasing), and of course, we break down our favorite Bee Gee's songs.  They have a more impressive catalog than you might think.

With the time I saved on this write up, it will allow us to get to Newt's faster.  Totally worth it in my humble opinion.  After missing out on Newt's last week, we're extra-ready to get back.

Thanks for listening.  Check us out on Facebook!
