CUT IT - episode 14 Nov 10, 2022

Such a fun and authentic episode with our buddy Dom who was an amazing sport when we had technical difficulties not once but TWICE. We had to rerecord 3 times due to some audio issues but that somehow made it that much more fun. We also added the "alternate beginnings" from our video footage to the end of the episode for everyone to enjoy because those convos were fun too!

Lastly, we talk about COVID-19 pandemic so I wanted to give a trigger warning to those who might've been impacted by it more than others. Shout out to Dom, one of our heroes during that time.
