We’re back! It’s only been 14 months but let’s catch up. Steve Ausburne has a new house and a new job, Casey Williams got a divorce, but may have figured out how to go back in time.

The North Bay Wild Fires are a big part of our hiatus, in fact we recorded an episode about it, so you should subscribe or re-subscribe now so you don’t miss it. Facebook bots are getting out of control. Whiskey tasting time! Weller Antique Original 107 Brand is on the menu, but we have a treat for you.

Don’t miss out and get tickets to the big So Your Friends Think You’re Funny comedy competition at Sally Tomatoes in Rohnert Park on November 10th. Cavanaugh forces us to talk a little politics which we don’t normally do, but in the end, I think we took a step to re-unite America. You’re welcome.
