And I hope you Scandinavian cats can understand poorly-translated Swedish as well as the English we love so dearly here on the show. Honestly though, unlike our beloved brethren to the north, we aren’t actually devoting a whole episode to you this week. Instead, we convened over Skype to discuss the American shopping ritual known as Black Friday, as well as a healthy dose of memetics, duckrolling, and other such jazz. We apologize for the audio quality (I mean… it is Skype after all), but we did manage to give you the treat of hearing our voices in stereo for the first time ever. We promise to get back on civilized audio hardware for the next episode. Grin and bear with us; we actually had some good stuff to say…
