Here is where I'd typically thank Kevin for joining us and plug the Made of Fail Empire he's slowly forging, but we haven't been on speaking terms since this was recorded, so he can go take a flying leap for all I care. Chill out, bro. Move on with your life and just let it go.

And, yes, I know that we're posting episode 17 even though episode 16 is still unfinished and unreleased. Kevin - communicating to us through "legal" "channels" - whipped out a bit of contractual fine print and "requested" that his episode be posted before we got to Dayna's. Probably because she still talks to us.

"Thank" you, Kevin. "Thank" you deep. "Thank" you hard.
