I'll be perfectly frank. I don't remember a single thing that happened during this episode. The sun came up and we might have announced OCTOBERKAST 2012. Gary marvels at the technological marvel that is the telephone. Will rants hard. Pretty sure Wes and Lucas stopped by too!

We start the show with a whimper, restart it, and then Colin Campbell joins us. iPhone 4Ses arrive, and Will lovingly strokes his box. Yeah, that's right. Box stroking.
