As you have probably noticed, there hasn't been an upload in a little while. Sorry about that...You see, Stacy has had some major life changes recently. As for Torrin, after over a decade of ignoring his physical and mental health, their rotted corpses have come crashing through the door like a zombie Kool-Aid Man. This forced him to make some changes... But don't worry! They'll be back soon with a ton of new content and maybe even some upgrades to your listening (and visual experience). See you soon.
