Wha Whaaaaaa.

So why did you get tomorrows show…today?

Jeff and I recorded our show early last night (Wednesday) since Jeff will be going out of town for some vacay.  Due to the unusually long show it took FOREVER to mix the show down post-production and I had to finish it off this morning (Thursday).  I hit submit and an hour later I get this curious little email saying that tomorrows show is out.

picard-facepalm

I had scheduled it to go out today rather than tomorrow.  So my play on this?  Lets at least make this something the audience can get a big laugh out of.  So.  You are not going to learn about Honey Badger Parenting until tomorrow so you’re just going to have to wait.

BOOM!
