    Codenames #24 - Steal Your Phace Off IV (The Curtain With/Rift)

    CAUTION PHISHY CONTENT!!!
    In this episode, we discuss toilet cakes, whether fish & chips can kill you and confirm that 24 is indeed the highest number.  Then they completely abandon the Dead to discuss Phish and the strange history of "The Curtain With" and its relationship to the evolution of "Rift".
    Remember, the show will be on hiatus for a bit, while we try and get our social media going.  Look for @gdcodenames on facebook and instagram.
