This week's episode contains a lot of me ranting. I know...but more-so! I talk about the Star Trek Mission Crate from Loot Crate, the current season of The Venture Bros., and also a long talk on this week's happenings in the WWE--there was a Pay Per View and a LOT to discuss! All that, plus I freak out because I saw a bug. What are you waiting for? Click the thing! Here's the time breakdown: 0:00 - Mostly me yelling about fleas. 9:20 - Music Break 1 - Nobody Has it All 9:50 - My extreme disappointment with Loot Crate's Mission Crate. 19:07 - Music Break 2 - Nobody Else 19:39 - TV Stuff (including The Venture Bros. at the start, then WWE wrestling from 30:18 onward) 59:26 - Music Break 3 - Who I Am 59:59 - Outro

This week's episode is a little different. I didn't really have anything new to talk about so instead I talked about a couple of my guitars that mean a lot to me and also about the comic book Bone by Jeff Smith. It's an episode of full-on nostalgia for me, and I hope you'll enjoy the trip back in time too. Be sure to check out the blog at http://emptychecking.blogspot.com for photos and more!
