Episode 69 - The Junior High Episode

We couldn't help ourselves! It's episode 69 and we had a hard time keeping our minds out of the gutter. When we were not making juvenile sex jokes we tried to discuss Netflix raising their rates, the Emmy nominations and playing Xbox 360 games on Windows 8. OK, we actually did very little of that. Not our most professional episode, but maybe one of our funniest.
