Posted on December 31, 2012 by | 3 Comments

064 MayanzWell, boys and girls, another year has come to an end.  2012 has been good to us over here at the podcast, and we hope all of our efforts have brought you a great many laughs this past year.  Behind us lies a failed apocalypse, crappy politics, and an awesome year of geekdom.  We don’t know what all 2013 has in store for us, but you better believe it’s going to have some kick-ass geek times, sweet movies, and MORE PODCASTS!  Join us this week as we B.S. our way into the New Year and talk about whatever randomness comes to mind.  Throw away that useless old Mayan Calendar, cast aside those unneeded show-runners, and pimp out your E-Z Bake oven as you prepare your ears for a brand new episode of Monkey in the Cage!
