So....Wayne had one of those moments this week.  He finished the show, uploaded it, then remembered stuff he wanted to get on the show.  Fortunately for him, he's the owner of the company, so we can't flog him.  Instead, we had him record an addendum, which we're dropping here for your enjoyment.

No New Episode This Week....Sorry

November 04, 2022 05:00 - 1 minute - 1.22 MB

Wayne's voice, for lack of a better term, SUCKS this week.  So, rather than put out an exceptionally subpar product, he's waiting until next week to see if it improves, at which time he'll get back to producing the moderately subpar product you've come to know and love.

October 14, 2022 05:00 - 26 minutes - 23.8 MB
