This episode is awful. I wouldn't even listen to it. It's really rough. Lewis is sick. He edited out 18 bouts of hacking into the microphone. Tim went along with it mainly because he felt bad we hadn't released anything in nearly three weeks. So, if you want to hear Lewis' deep, raspy, nasty voice, this is the episode for you. We do some Good Tweet/Bad Tweet and Christian MeMEs. Enjoy... or something.   Tim's First MeME Lewis' First MeME Tim's Second MeME Lewis' Second MeME   Opening music: Listener, "Eyes to the Ground for Change" Other things: Amos Lee, "Tricksters, Hucksters, and Scamps"; How I Met Your Mother, "Three Day Rule," Kiboom Kids Songs, "Easter Song" Closing Music: Jovan Mackenzy, "Reformata"   Like us on Facebook, follow us on Twitter, email us , or go to our website, all for more information.
