Also, you already know Da 'Rona got us all locked in our houses so Devin joined me in the studio via the internet so please excuse some of the audio! EDIT: Twitch and OBS ruined the stream recording of the second half smh so the matchups advancing from Round 2 of the Fan Love Conference are Bandana vs. We Got It From Here... Thank You 4 Your Service and KOD vs. Oxymoron. Hopefully I can figure out these technical difficulties soon!
