Episode 36: Bed Bug Happy Hour

In this episode, we recap Levon, Jake, and Brian's experiences returning fresh from BLADE 2019. We touch on Levon's numerous new acquisitions, Brian's success at the show, and Jake not having a heart attack. In addition we weigh in on the Zero Tolerance 0223 and Sebenza 31 controversies, as well as our thoughts on the winners of BLADE 2019's official awards. This episode was recorded before the Lionsteel steel hardness controversy erupted, but we will soon address it!
