Props again to Sam, he took over edit duties this week, so if Rob was able to slip an F bomb in there that didn’t get bumped out -  you know who to blame.

    So as of right now we don’t have a show for this week, if we can get together and push a quick one out later this week we will, otherwise  the next show should be released July 14th.  Another reason I wanted to get the show out this week is I am taking the family on vacation this friday and we won’t be back until after July 7th, which gives the show another 2 weeks off.

    Keep an eye out for a quick show this week (if we can make it happen) otherwise expect one July 14th. 

    We just hit a rash of schedule conflicts and technical difficulties to boot, we haven’t forgot about you – and hopefully you wont forget about us!
