Hello!
In case you haven't heard already, this week Matt Dow has taken some well-deserved R & R. So, before Matt left he had asked around for somebody who could pinch hit for him for this month's PLEASE HOLD. So, I volunteered.
Have a listen!
-- Brian West
As I was only able to record the audio, there more than likely will not be a video portion to this edition [Unless Manly edits this when he returns, God willing, from vacation.]
That being said, here's a breakdown of the segments for this episode:
