EZ and Roland sit down for a chat about Dota 2.  Cyphus is pretty sure there's a funny voicemail in this episode, but who really knows, cause EZ and Roland failed to send an episode description.  This episode might not even be about Dota 2.  It might finally be the episode where EZ and Roland leave their women and run off to Mexico to open that little cabana shop they've always dreamed of when laying awake staring at each other wistfully through the Skype cam.  Maybe all this, maybe more, in this episode of the Dota 2 podcast.

EZ, Roland and Cyphus sit down and record an impromptu show in place of what should have been an episode of Try Hard Tuesday.  Unfortunately, Roland failed to record Wazoo's track, so instead of Blue and Wazoo waxing philosophical about some high level Dota 2 strategy, you get Roland, Cyphus and EZ delving deep into Zai's return to school, YouTube entering streaming, and Cyphus' love of being pantsless, eating ice cream and watching Sex and the City.
