This week, Pastor Borghardt and Jon Kohlmeier were joined by Patrick Sturdivant. They gathered in McHenry for the midnight showing of The Avengers and decided it would be a good idea to record an hour of radio afterwords at 3am. Episode 186 is the outcome of that. This episode also contains many spoilers of The Avengers, so if you haven't seen it yet and are planning to, keep that in mind.
