I took so long to upload this - mostly because of covid but also self indulgence. Had a good chat with Dave about cookers.
Just as a side note - I am going to get vaccinated around November from here onward. Covid goes mental during silly season. I prefer novavax because it has zero side effects for me (I am not a doctor this is not medical advice) but if we all jab up in October or so, we might not have to destroy christmas on a regular basis. My last jab was last year and covid last week SUCKED.
Episode is of course brought to you by CBCo but since recording they have sent me beers so my lack of beers are now lies. We love CBCo. CRP10 code still works. Buy their beer - it makes us look good, but it's also really good beer. I maintain their IPA is one of the best WCIPAs in the country and CHEAP!
The audio edit is a bit janky because it's done by AI but it's fine. I'm tired. Enjoy the episode!
Oh and a patron had an issue finding the SP group so here's a facebook like that might work.
PS the myplace song is at the end and I have not listened to it cause it's awful
Shownotes below.
