This is a very special Co-Op edition of both Gear Ratio & Crank Lounge.

“With a very special visit from Joel Unitard (of Awful Show Fame), everything that could go wrong did. But at least we had him for “Say It: Again.” Thanks to Joel for being a great sport.

Unfortunately for everyone listening, Joel didn’t make it into the 1st part of the episode. The recording went the way of Starcraft: Ghost. Also, the audio levels on “Say It: Again” is much louder and had a lot more bass than the first portion of the show. Make sure to check your volume levels.

Sorry about the sound quality, hopefully we’ll be back to normal next week.

… and The Social Engine series of entertaining and educational podcasts.

In a nearly inhumane turn of events, my mother’s ex of 17 years will try to force her, my brother and I out of the house we have grown to know and love. Sure it’s an unconventional family, but it was my damn family. The time for myself are changing faster than I expected it to. May you have more strength than I if this ever happens to you.

This Public Address (almost typed pubic.. see, not all of me is gone yet,) I will talk about my current situation as well as the changes that may happen once I do step out of the the range of the TSE themed microphone. IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO HEAR AN EMOTIONAL (SAD) PODCAST, DO NOT LISTEN. PERIOD. I rarely put myself out there like I did here, it’s completely for OUR benefit as a family that you get to know me better.

I use a quote everywhere I do, and for once I break it. The quote is: “We are inclined to believe those whom we do not know because they have never deceived us.” I certainly hope you believe me after my statement below. I promise I have and never will deceive you.

As I say in my address to every one of you, it’s not -goodbye- at all. I’ll stick around for as long as I can and hopefully I will enjoy every single moment of it. So it’s certainly not goodbye; it just boils down to “see you soon.”

(all background music you may or may not be able to hear is from Hania. You can listen to all of her music at 100% volume at her Newgrounds account. http://hania.newgrounds.com )
