One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do. Two can be as bad as one, It's the loneliest number since the number one. Two rounds left might bring you solace as you charge toward finals, or maybe it’s the hanging sword above your head as everything falls apart. Three hosts and multiple guests are here to make things a little less lonely - this is the SHIVA BLAST!

Apologies in advance. The Commissioner's recollection of his unlikely win is possibly the least offensive part of this week's Shiva Blast. Seags is back, Benny is here, Bacon brings the Stats and there's plenty of contributions via the Open Line. Tea Cups, Water Bottles, White Russians, Grammar Police and more.
