Well it's been a wet and wild week here in Austin. Coronavirus everywhere. We've been cooped up, watching some movies, and decided on a change of plans to get the new episode up - all the theaters are closed, so no Bloodshot.  Things will hopefully get back to normal sometime soon so we can get back on track!

We're still setting up the studio so please forgive the little bit of extra reverb for this episode and probably next week's as well.
