For our 50th Episode we thought it might be fun to show you a peek behind the curtain of the show by airing some things that (for good reason) never made it into an actual episode.  In this episode you’ll hear the intro to an episode made exclusively for the first Racketboy meetup (in Texas in 2010), you’ll hear some of John’s co-host audition as well as parts of those from two other folks, and you’ll hear Dave's thoughts on the first 50 episodes and the future of the show.
