What’s wrong with thick black glasses and a goatee on engineers?… Oh yeah. The whole perpetuating a stereotype thing…my bad.

I have a question for you guys….I fried a whole pound of bacon while listening to your podcast today. I know that was a sin but does that mean I can’t listen to your podcast anymore? (and yes, I did eat the whole pound of bacon)
