Lock, Load, Explode (Rivals 2 Ep. 8 & 9)

Thank you all, it's been an incredible 5 years but the time has come.Please update your Patreon subscriptions if you are one because we don't plan on publishing anything on there going forward. Once we are past the billing cycle, I will probably make this whole archive free to access but I can't currently change any pricing. I may also upload all the Patreon exclusive podcasts on the main feed at some point if I can't do it this way.

We are off to a great start so far, except for the no elminatino in episode 2...Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/smashingheadspodcastMerch: https://www.smashingheadspodcast.com/storeWebsite:https://www.smashingheadspodcast.com​Thanks to all our Patrons so far: Aaron S., Alana T., Alex Z., Albert F., Alyssa E., Angela E., Austin D., Baker R., Becky, Bobbi Jo C., Brandi W., Brianne, Brittany R., Carol Z., Carrington C., Cassie A., Charlotte S., Connie M., Connor R., Crystal, Cynthia H., Daileen G., David H., Dawson I., Dena, Dianne T., Dylan B., Elda T., Erika F., Gabriel, Gary H., Greg H., Grimm, Hannah M., Heidi, Holeigh G., Holly, Idallys, Jalen S., Jamie R., JD, Jennifer A., Jennifer G., Jeyyy, Joe, Jordyn P., Joy M., Justee M., Kari S., Katelin S., Katie, Katherine V., Kayla, Kellie B., Kelsi C.

Well...We explain a lot of what has gone on in the past 3 weeks including the 2.5 hour podcast that we recorded and was completely corrupted, which was a killer blow. We go back to Tennessee in 2 days for 2 weeks and will record whenever we can around family holiday times and depending on the internet situation because at Hannah's parent's house, it's basically non-existent.Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/smashingheadspodcastMerch: https://www.smashingheadspodcast.com/storeWebsite:https://www.smashingheadspodcast.com​Thanks to all our Patrons so far: Aaron S., Alana T., Alex Z., Albert F., Alyssa E., Angela E., Austin D., Baker R., Becky, Bobbi Jo C., Brandi W., Brianne, Brittany R., Carol Z., Carrington C., Cassie A., Charlotte S., Connie M., Connor R., Crystal, Cynthia H., Daileen G., David H., Dawson I., Dena, Dianne T., Dylan B., Elda T., Erika F., Gabriel, Gary H., Greg H., Grimm, Hannah M., Heidi, Holeigh G., Holly, Idallys, Jalen S., Jamie R., JD, Jennifer A., Jennifer G., Jeyyy, Joe, Jordyn P., Joy M., Justee M., Kari S., Katelin S., Katie, Katherine V., Kayla, Kellie B., Kelsi C.
