I had a special treat this week. Amit bowed out of this week's podcast to allow the original "Whatever" cast to reunite once again. So this week we have Jerry, Nick and Herb in this week's podcast.
We talked about tech and superheros, just like our old TV show "Whatever". There aren't any links this week, we were in iHop and I had no internet on my iBook. Since we were in iHop, you can hear the waiter, and a special friend called up too.
