    Flying Green?? I think this episode should be titled “Let’s everyone pick on Steve”!!

    🙂

    I did leave the cash somewhere close for Rob….it’s in the USA…isn’t that close enough??

    Steve: we only pick on the people we like!

    Hope your trip back to Australia was good. Can’t wait to hear you pairing up with Grant again on the Plane Crazy Down Under Podcast!

    On the episode name, this one was filled with possibilities. I considered “Squished Like a Bug,” but thought better of it. “Rob’s Chemistry Lesson” was another possibility. It was a fun episode to record. Long, but fun.
