      It sucks that Crazy Joe is leaving :(. He was a awesome addition to the team. There’s always the voice mail show though.

      Was kinda shocked to see an interview with Josh Gates here, especially as much as you guys are always raggin on SciFi’s reality programming. Not a bad interview though. I still won’t watch the show - at least Ghost Hunters is funny . . . I know they don’t mean it to be, but it is. :)
