Hello, new episode! This week we make it clear this was recorded before quarantine because we talk about pub trivia, haircuts, and shows we’ve done recently. We hear how the Star Spangled Banner was written, a new Johnny Cash song, and some hackers get some help from a familiar paper clip. We also play the rolls we were born to play-Rock, Paper, and Scissors. Happy #widdlewednesday!
