    Was there some automated “um” and “uh” removal applied to this episode? It seemed to mostly affect Dave. It kind of messed with the flow of speech, made it a little hard to stay focused for me. Thanks guys!

      Yes, I tried that out this time. Relistening, I can see how it changed things. Will try to get an unmodified episode up later today. Thanks for the feedback.
