Completely Conspicuous Episode 72: The New Stuff

So here's the first episode of CompCon featuring someone other than me. I actually had to record it twice because the first time, I had the level of the MP3 clip of me and Jay Breitling down too low. It's still not perfect, but I think it sounds better. This is going to be a two-parter, with the next episode featuring the remainder of our conversation and coming next week.
