APOLOGY: Matt is very sorry for the audio quality of this episode! He is a technology geek and in the name of making a great streaming experience for those who financially support us, he messed up the audio.
We had two options:
1) Give you a lower quality file that had the entire conversation or
2) A higher quality audio where it cut out four times for a few seconds while Stephen was speaking.
We choose having the full conversation over that of better quality! It will be fixed next week!
