We’re declaring this episode our Anniversary podcast, and for people having to drive home this holiday season we’ve let ourselves ramble on for an entire hour. Topics covered: Christmas traditions, the film TRON: Legacy, and Sid’s recounting of the first 7 days of life since releasing “The Proposal”, the muppet-based marriage proposal that has been making the rounds on the Internet. Sid’s segment starts at 19:19, for those of you who want to skip our opening geekery 🙂 Recorded December 22, 2010.

Elise steps in for Sid to give Dave a lesson in improving his diction, which merrily segues into a general exploration of French, learning languages, singing, and related stories as we juggle our handheld microphones.
