It’s still January and whoa doggy has it been a month. Luckily we’re still here and have a set of movies. One of which contains the very month we rerecorded it.

Have you ever been to Stapleton Airport? It’s okay if you haven’t, it was the major Denver airport until the Illuminati decided their meeting halls weren’t big enough. Unless you’re local to our area, the only thing you might have heard that name was in the trivia of filming locations for a certain sequel. That’s right, we’re doing Die Hard 2(1990).

Get ready to have triple vision. That’s like being drunk twice with one eye closed. We only ask that you try and take that same patience you might have when drunk as we go over this.

Congratulations. You are now a weirdo. Tim has Welcome to J...

Do you remember that phase of the internet where everything was about pirates? Like everyone would mention when it’s talk like a pirate day and things like that.
