<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We decided to record a show today without any kind of edit or post clean-up. Our reason for doing this is to make up for all of the times we have been late in posting new shows. We are perfectionists and sometimes that means we spend a week on show notes or several days editing our audio files. For this show, we give you the raw unedited, un-clean episode of "The Lazy Shit Show". And also no show notes.</span>Weshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05516719149074777442noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3620310760455985437.post-40436720334483917322013-03-14T22:19:00.000-07:002013-04-15T22:21:22.288-07:00Does Dr. Dre have an RFID tag in his hand?<a href="http://www.lostpants.com/wno/enclosure/20130314_wno.mp3">Click here to listen to the official audio show</a><br />
