Transcript ZACH:  That’s how you’d be an expert, though.  You only talk about stuff that you know; not about the stuff you don’t know. CHUCK:  [laughter] JAMES:   Darn it.  We’re doing it wrong!

JOSH:  Hey, good morning everyone! CHUCK:  James Edward Gray. JAMES:  We’re recording this episode on what’s likely the last three digit date in my lifetime.  Not three digit, three repeated number date – 12-12-12. CHUCK:  Katrina Owen. KATRINA:  Good evening. CHUCK:  Avdi Grimm. AVDI:  Good morning. CHUCK:  I’m Charles Max Wood from www.devchat.tv and this week, we have a special guest – it’s Zach Holman. ZACH:  Good morning. CHUCK:  Now, David Brady is out this week.  I’m the only one that can really make this joke; but he is out courting his third wife.  So… [laughter] JOSH: Is that like the standard thing to call in sick when you live in Salt Lake City? JAMES:  Or you live in Utah? [laughter] CHUCK:  Oh yeah.  He’s been pretty sick for the last four or five days.  So anyway, he’s sitting out this episode. JOSH:  So who is this Zach Holman guy? JAMES:  Wait.  Let’s do Best of Parley. JOSH:  I'm so confused.  Okay, what’s the best of Parley this week? JAMES:  You’re confused.
