Yes, this one took a while to upload... This conversation between Sara, Shannon, and Berto originally happened in summer of 2023. Almost a year later, I finally was able to edit and upload it. I hope you guys still enjoy this conversation as much as I did and it gives you something to revisit/tide you over until the second season of the show releases.
This and a few other previously recorded eps that never got uploaded will be labeled as a part of S2 and marked as (Special Vault Upload) while we release new recorded episodes in 2024. Thanks for being patient and enjoy the show!
