Welcome to our first ever Rant Cast. Jeff and I were in no condition to do a real cast Thursday, so we did a rant cast. I would have posted it yesterday but American Airlines hates me (24 hours to get from San Fran to Wichita, I could have driven it). So Jeff and I go off on random topics and talk about nothing important. We should be recording a new cast later today, a real cast, with content. So basically this is unfiltered Jeff and Josh with no topics. Enjoy.
