The good news is I’ve “hidden” Arnold Schwarzenegger in the episode, which should bring you all some joy while we die of asphyxiation. The other good news is that next week is all about our special edition episode of the show!  It won’t be live, unfortunately. Technology seems to hate us. But it will be filled with our friends:  Jason Sanford, John Ottinger, Adam, and your lovely host regulars! Tune in and enjoy!
