Episode 30 of The Widowmaker Podcast is essentially an unscheduled hijacking of the podcast by Danny Fretz (Fretzy) and Surly Dan (Surly).  The Dans chirp Mike for the better part of an hour for missing an unscheduled podcast while mixing in some discussion about fishing tackle tackle and baitcaster vs spinner reels.  Nonsense!
