Random Chatterings [Ep. 13.5] - Well, The Days Have Gone By...

It’s another compilation episode! In the opening, Arlill explains (again) why there hasn’t been a new episode in almost 2 months. He also talks about a new home-brew project he’s been working on to make up for the podcast drought. In the next segment, we hear Arlill and Gary try to sum up their summer experience in 2010 then we transition to bloopers and outtakes from Episodes 12 and 13.
