  • The Lazy Shit Show
    Mark Wes, and Bob O'Rob at the Emeryville Market food court.
    We decided to record a show today without any kind of edit or post clean-up. Our reason for doing this is to make up for all of the times we have been late in posting new shows. We are perfectionists, and sometimes that means we spend a week on show notes, or several days editing our audio files. For this show, we give you the raw unedited, unclean episode of "The Lazy Shit Show". And also no show notes.
