Ye of little faith! Did you honestly think we wouldn't post the audio of...whatever that Twitch thing was? (Yes. You thought that. We get it). Well, here it is, in all of it's drunken, ramshackle glory.  And a huge thank you to all the nerd listeners that chimed in with Twitch tips--VOD!--for our future live streaming endeavors. No need to break down all the topics, except to say...Kmele screams about bleach baths, Moynihan does some perverted Jackscent, and Matt gets deep into the brown liquor. Enjoy.  Thank you for subscribing.
