We've been off the air for over a month due to vacation and other scheduling conflicts, but we're finally back with Episode 13. The news was relatively lackluster during our absence, so instead of our usual format, we freestyle about a plethora of topics including the NBA/NHL Finals, the state of Utah, movie critics, Bigfoot, the best Netflix shows, and a few others. As always, find us on SoundCloud, Stitcher, Spotify, and iTunes/Apple Podcasts.
