Deez Lone Nutz Strike Again!? (DCC43)

EDIT: I added a second video to the A.E. YouTube channel which contains the portion which got cut from the original video. Apologies for the mix-up and for the delay in fixing it. I posted this on a Friday and then left on the following day for a week's vacation. I couldn't get to this until now. I don't think there's anything Earth-shattering here, but it was a significant cut from the end of the episode. Here is the link: 2024-07-20 03:05:36 +0000 UTC View Post
