(10/31/2020) This episode was recorded on Halloween 2020, but we never posted it because the audio was busted and unusable. I've tinkered with it off and on for a year trying to get it to a point where I felt I could post it and have it be halfway tolerable. I'm sure there are audio wizards out there who could fix it in less than an hour, but I just could not find the patience or the settings to achieve that. What you're about to hear (if you decided to be a champion and listen all the way through) was the best that I could get it to sound. Believe me, the original audio was FAR worse. I used a noise reduction filter to lessen the severity of Jeremiah's terrible audio and I chopped a ton of my audio to constantly resync my audio to his. Anyway, thank you for listening (IF YOU DARE!)
