Scottish small towns, Kanye West and all the feels, this week on the Geekdown. As mentioned on Twitter, one of your hosts is going through it this week, and we thought maybe getting our Marc Maron/Pete Holmes on would make for interesting radio. If that ain't your jam, feel free to skip 22:00-38:00.
