🤡 Fun Facts
There were so many clips for this episode that Robbie's production rig was unable to process it, resulting in an 8 week delay in release. Ultimately, an SSD had to be used as virtual memory to make it so Robbie could open the project. See hhttps://mastodon.theshowshow.tv/@robbie/113676921820983336
