Due to an unfortunate issue during post-production, this week’s episode was heavily corrupted and most of the footage couldn’t be recovered. We spent a lot of time trying to salvage what we could, and unfortunately the video portion was lost. The good news is we were able to recover the audio, so rather than scrap the episode completely, we decided to bring you the audio-only version of what survived.We truly apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience and continued support. We promise we’ll make it up to you next week with a full episode!From all of us at **Pardon The Distraction Podcast**, thank you for sticking with us and we hope you enjoy what we were able to recover.---**Welcome to Pardon The Distraction Podcast** featuring **TheLostDrake** with **ProfessorStalke** and **RazorRedd** — your crew talking all things gaming, pop culture, tech, media, controversy, and more! 🎮🎙️Want to support what we do and unlock exclusive perks?
