Thanks for coming on the show MajorJuggler! It was a real pleasure!

Oh, and a special thanks again to Sean, who helped to TO the event at Nationals! His input was considerable in this week's show!

It's a great show. Thank you.

Also, WOO! I was mentioned!

LOL! I know you were on the Kessel Run already, but I'd love to chat with you sometime man!

Many Sidebothams died to bring us this...

We made the same joke off mic... Rick was an awesome interview though. Super casual guys and I wish him all the best! He dissevered that big win!

Great show, really enjoying listening to you guys! Thanks for keeping us updated with the new releases.

Very happy to do so! I am glad you enjoyed the show!

It's a great show. Thank you.

Also, WOO! I was mentioned!

Twice if you count the "moo" noises in addition to the direct reference to you. ;-)

Yes, spoiler alert, there was in fact mooing on the show.

And there was much 'mooing', I mean rejoicing!

Moo!

Great job on that Marathon show!

Glad I could inspire a tich... MJ you have definitely taken it to the next level! Keep up the good work.

LOL! I know you were on the Kessel Run already, but I'd love to chat with you sometime man!

I'd love to. I'm just amazed people want to talk to me instead of groaning that 'the shuttle guy' is bothering people again.

Moo!

great show! metric ton of info! thanks!

Very happy to provide you guys with hours of entertainment! My hope is that this show will be the ceiling, the longest we will ever do. That was fun but a bear to get edited in time for release.
