Hey everyone. The dish is on a two week vacation due to my work schedule conflicting with our recording time. While I was considering recording something quick just to fill the time, Jason Torchia did it for me! So a big thanks to him. I listened to it ahead of time to make sure that he didn't just record this to make fun of me and I got a good laugh out of it. So thanks to Jason, and enjoy the show!
