Burt and Scott. Great to hear "I Hear" again. You've been missed, and this was an excellent return to form. Thanks again. Hope that all your work allows you time to return to The Game. Morrie.

Excellent to have you back, fellows. My podcast catcher seems to be having an interregnum of its own this week, and I just happened to check the Facebook page and link. I'm very pleased that I did!
