EDC-TV EP 007 Show Notes

I've got a little heads up for the episode that we will release this upcoming Friday, but before I get to that I want to say something first.

My little dog got quite sick while we were recording this episode and I had to leave in the middle of it to take him to the vet. Dasher is okay now, but he was having major issues resulting from two separate UTI's that were battling for dominance, and it wasn't pretty. I won't go into the details since this is a family forum.

I've always said that Inky and Abe are great together, and this episode goes to show how unimportant I am to the process- they finished out the episode themselves and I think it is one of the best episodes we have done to date.

Because of that I want to put it in print on the internet for everyone to see- Thank you Inky, and thank you Abe, for picking up the slack and finishing off another great episode! I've said before that you guys are rockstars, and this kind of thing proves it. Thank you both for having my back.

Getting back on track, here are the show notes for the upcoming episode!
