The Bullpen

[David]

This week's episode will be available shortly.  Not only is it sans music (I had to finish piecing it together during my dinner break at work and I did not get a chance to upload my bumper music folder to the server), I perform an EPIC FAIL by NOT picking up where the amazing Pat Loika leaves off not once, but TWICE!

Back with shownotes and the announcement that the episode is ready in a bit.

UPDATE:

It's ready!  Get it here.

It's an episode sans music! Why? Because the host is not firing on all cylinders, that's why. So to make up for it we hear from Pat Loika TWICE and there are TWO voicemails from Carlos.  Mike brings us a Mighty Marvel Movie Minute and Chris pirates another Marvel Tales. All this and SkrullWatch, too!

Titles mentioned include X-Factor: Layla Miller, Captain Britain and MI: 13, Guardians of the Galaxy, X-Factor, Uncanny X-Men, Secret Invasion, Young X-Men, Secret Invasion: Inhumans, and Iron Man.

  Don't be so hard on yourself.

[El Dave]

For shame, David Price. For shame!

[ccordova2]

deep breaths david we all understand

[New Mutant]

Don't be so hard on yourself.

Don't you wish you could get to his left, and I could get to his right, and we could manhug him senseless?  Our David A Price...producing a podcast for us that we absolutely pay not a dime for, yet costs him time, resources, and the cost of web equipment and upkeep -- and he thinks that despite this weekly output of intelligent goodness --that he failed us in some way, shape or form.

David?

Thank you for everything.

[Equinox]

David is teh anti-suck...

or for the leet speak challenged: David is good people! 

[David]

It's ready.  Link and notes in the first post.
