Geeks and Beats: New Year’s Day Edition, 2014

I’m not sure what Michael did last night, but I sat at home with a bottle or Armagnac and a James Bond marathon on TV.  I think I was asleep by 10:15.  This also explains why I’ve forgotten what episode number we’re at.

Anyway, here are your show notes.
