Hello darkness, my old friend I've come to talk with you again Because a vision softly creeping Left its seeds while I was sleeping And the vision that was planted in my brain Still remains Within the sound of silence In restless dreams I walked alone Narrow streets of cobblestone 'Neath the halo of a street lamp I turned my collar to the cold and damp When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light That split the night And touched the sound of silence And in the naked light I saw Ten tho...

Well, it's Travis' birthday and he's drunk. He's even drunk as he's writing this episode preview and he's struggling to remember what him and Darren talked about. He knows they previewed an important RSL match, they took a look back at the first quarter of the season, and at some point they mentioned Nathan Ordaz. Outside of that, it's honestly all a blur.
