Welcome to Episode 82! 
Tony is away so the Pat will play! Pat is here with us this week!

HSM 79: Lost in Value, Laptop Fling, and Abaddon’s Jitte

Welcome to Episode 79!
Who is that on the rooftop??? It's Santa! Well not really... but the holidays have the Gremlin Boys in high spirits as Mike tries to rein us in. 
In today's episode, we talk about a player who decided to go for value over the win and cascaded into salt, a friend group torn asunder like so many scattered electronics, and a playgroup with tunnel-vision and a penchant for not outlining deals.
Also: Cher ornaments, Flanderization, The Family Stone, and you still owe me those double A batteries for my toothbrush! Also Sam's greatest salty song yet??
Stay Salty and Happy Holidays!
