This epic episode clocks in at more than 2.5 hours as we revisit some of our greatest memories, interviews, characters, fans and guffaws. We will always be indebted to our listeners as they not only gave us validation but provided so much content and created this fantastic community known as the Ante Up Nation. Thanks for all that you’ve done, and hopefully we will, again, see you at the tables.
