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.

A big huge wonderful sensational not at all desperate thank you to Dayna from Made of Fail. While child services would likely disagree, she's the best parental figure any podcast could ask for.

As we're sure you'll note early on, Noel doesn't talk for long stretches during the first half, and when he does, there's often the sounds of banging in the background. That's because, we kid you not, a maintenance dude showed up to fix a leaking faucet, something Noel requested two months ago, literally less than a minute before we were about to start recording. Since we'd rescheduled things twice already, we just decided to plug ahead, and an extra thanks must be given to Dayna's ranting skills so Noel could often mute his mic over the noise.

We'll be making something for you in the very near future. Then remaking it. Then losing the remake rights so Michael Bay can bring in a music video directing buddy to remake it yet again for the younger, hipper crowd. Then Turkey will do an illegal knockoff and it will compete with the Bollywood musical adaptation for the spot of audience favorite. Then the Japanese will remake it, making yet another American remake an automatic guarantee.

We aren't sure which version you'll end up seeing, but you will see something soon.
