Episode 4 - American Slang Interview
The majority of this episode was recorded on May 31st, with the interview being recorded at an earlier time.  We briefly address some of the rhetoric that was popular in that moment, but there was so much to come over the following days. We decided to wait to release this episode until an episode addressing everything could be dropped at the same time. That episode is called "Between The Core 1" and should be up now as well. Thank you so much again to Adam and Tyler for taking the time to be on the show. Their new album Death Drive is out everywhere, so check it out and make sure to order some merch from them if you want a love note!
