In which Jeff and KC rub elbows with one of the Northwest's premier podcasters, Mr. Casey "Hardwood" McLain (of the Offspeed Podcast with Aaron Kirby); they discover that stats are the future of sport; Casey reminds us that some weird coach somewhere said "I'm a man! I'm 40!"; we learn about Pete Palmer and his linear weights; with stats, even a lowly blogger can reach the mountaintop of web journalism, in the form of a Landing Looker Outer turned Fangrapherazzo; stats and managerial accounting are like long-lost twins; aborted children tend not to increase the rates of violent crime (at least not since 1878); famed local comedian and podcaster Monica Nevi encourages us to stand up against hate; next week's host of Everything is Awesome is determined by a trial by combat, with Lady KC going up against the crafty veteran Dude Casey; we learn that Casey talks about beer as well as sports (get his work at beergraphs.com); and Casey rattles off some dates where you can see him do his thing. Standup. Comedy. Go see it, Tacoma (you too, Richland, Auburn, and the rest of you slightly less awesome cities).

Closing Song: "So. Good" - Johnny Stinson
