An ill guest and absent Scott mean RJ and Kit are left alone to play, which goes exactly how you'd expect. Expect a lot of rambling. Also, Craig briefly stopped working somewhere in the middle, so there's a brief tone to note the point where recording stopped and restarted.

Enjoy :)

On that last, we had some problems with the bot which unfortunately cut the recording short. Apologies for this.
