S03E16 - The Money Pit Mystery (EXPLICIT)
In Research Of
We include a warning in the intro to this one. It's got an explicit tag. That's for language because this one brought out some strong feelings, but that's all explained in the intro. What's not explained in the intro is that my audio is pretty awful in this one. Once again Skype decided to randomly use my laptop's microphone instead of my podcasting mic. This is the last time that will happen because I've ditched the laptop in favor of a more powerful machine with no internal microphone! My apologies for that, but hopefully you'll find more treasure in this...
