Just a quick heads up! I forgot to mention (well I mentioned it on the show but didn’t mention the name because I couldn’t remember who originally coined the phrase), but I do want to give mad props to Gnomedic (https://gnomedic.wordpress.com/) who is the main inspiration behind the title of this week’s show! I never want to go without giving original creators their props and feel absolutely terrible that I left out the credit initially and hope he forgives me! Please!
