In this chaotic April Live Show, the TDG crew deals with technical difficulties, pranks their listeners (not really), and bids farewell to Jon as he embarks on a new chapter. Episode Highlights: Audio Issues and April Fools Pranks: The guys grapple with Wi-Fi problems, leading to some listener confusion. But was it all an elaborate April Fools' Day joke? No, no it wasn’t our Wi-Fi was messed up. Craig's Custom Purse: Craig unveils his handcrafted leather "man purse" – a stylish solution to his back pain woes.
