And darn it, it won't be the last! We may also have got popular puppet Hacker T. Dog's name wrong several times, but we swear it was an accident. We're just innocent men.This episode was edited by Joseph Burrows - Audio EditorJoin the LoreFolk at patreon.com/loremenpodko-fi.com/loremenCheck the sweet, sweet merch here...https://www.teepublic.com/stores/loremen-podcast?ref_id=24631@loremenpodyoutube.com/loremenpodcastwww.instagram.com/loremenpodwww.facebook.com/loremenpod Learn more about your ad choices.
