I believe the issue was brought up to Kevin and Steve and they had to fix the audio issue and re-upload the episode to Eternal Central. So if you download it again, it should be fine!

Hope to see you there!
Yeah I asked Patrick and Matt for their lists yesterday but haven't heard from them. I think Matt picked up Assassin's Trophies at the store and Patrick played U/W/R Landstill because he comfortably played U/W Landstill last time but I believe he said the deck was not where he wanted it to be.
