In this, our seventh episode of TWIBS, we go over a lot of news, two weeks worth in fact. We contemplate over the future of the show, and desperatly look for a new co-host to replace Jesse. We go over more problems of companies, and provide what we believe they should do. Finally, Leif is determined to be a hippy. This week, on TWIBS.
