Thank you for joining us for a Very Special Episode™, in which we take a trip for a Store Showdown! This is a shorter episode, and the sound quality is a little less than optimal (I apologize... the nice studio setup made me forget how to edit gonzo-style recording). We will be back in the studio for the next one.
