    Howdy, y'all!

    So sorry for the delay in getting these episodes out. Carolyn has been super busy with school and it has been super hard to record, edit, and get episodes out to the world. In this episode, Carolyn and Macy have a good laugh at some Reddit stories while also talking about a recently lawsuit regarding Autobelays. Hope you enjoy!
