Sippin' On Some Soda: Ep. 13.5 - Failed Reunion Minisode
So check it out: Kirby came home for Thanksgiving and we attempted to record a reunion episode of the podcast for you all. But the thing is that the audio turned out like shit (my bad, truly). I didn't want to want the whole hour to be wasted though, so we are presenting you with a three minute mini episode in which you hear Kirby receiving his welcome home gift moments after I press record. Enjoy, maybe!
Intro music: It Doesn't Matter by Champ (available on Bandcamp).
Outro music: Resin by The Supervillains.
