Jesse's Note: As documented many a time on THFWCW, my computer is an old pile of hot garbage. At about the 18 minute mark, GarageBand crashed and wipe all of the audio we had recorded up to that point. So this week's podcast is the audio from our Facebook Live stream. Apologies for the loss of audio quality and lack of awesome intro song. Fingers crossed I'll have it fixed by the next episode.
