Yeah, J.R. Blackwell and I love our television, like any good nerds. We love The Middleman. We love Doctor Who. But having long since deep-sixed the cable, we cannot watch them the moment the come on the boob-tube.Also, we don't live in the United Kingdom.Naturally, as podcasters, we turn to the internets to solve all our problems. But there is no legitimate way to download the shows we love. We'd pay for it, if only we COULD.But we can't. There is no way to legitimate get the shows we want in any reasonable amount of time. Waiting months for the DVD is, quite frankly, unacceptable.Forced by neglect, we do the only thing we can. We turn to piracy.And we aren't happy about it, neither.The Voice of Free Planet X theme was written and performed by Russell Collins of www.clockworkaudio.net

Theme music is "Faithful" by The Shillas.This week's story is "Hold Me Like a Girl" written and read by Jared Axelrod. I'm proud for this to be my first gay sex story. Even if you think you don't like this kind of story, listen anyways. You might be surprised.Jared is filling in for me this week while I recover from a nasty case of bronchitis. My voice is only just this moment coming back at all, and I would not have been able to give you a show nearly this good.Thank you, Jared.

We learn a little more about how Caroline deals with problem employees, Maureen tries to make friends, and Kevin makes a decision.

Due to the lack of any sort of landmass on Flusie, you will be expected to meet their delgation on their spaceship. While their ship will be filled to the brim with water, they will have constructed a "non-fish bowl" for your comfort. A little plastic castle will be put in the non-fish-bowl, to remind you of home.

The fact remains, ladies and gentlemen, we have to meet the Geert price.

When dealing with the sentient planet Maelstrose, you may find it difficult to get its attention, due to your relatively minuscule size. When you do not succeed in getting the planet to respond to your hails, do not let it bother you. Mealstrose is 130 billion years old, and as such, its stories are long, boring, and it would probably fall asleep in the middle of talking to you anyway.
