Outtakes Episode - September 2012

Since Jonah Falcon is in London this week, there is no proper episode this week. However, that's not to say we're leaving you high and dry, as a new Outtakes episode is here for your listening pleasure, highlighted by Paul's bile, Paul's love of Shrinkydinks, and a long conversation between Jordan Lund and Jonah about Rob Liefeld's Charlie Sheen-like departure from DC Comics.
See you next week when we have a normal episode.
