Welcome back Pauper- uh, I mean, CUBE fam! Hippo and Cameron are back from CubeCon and they brought Matthew "Silly" Sentilles along to catch Thomas and y'all up on their cube adventures over the weekend. No 7-person episode this time, Thomas took all his mics with him to Arizona, so a shorter annual CubeCon episode than usual! Some Pauper mentioned and more Pauper to come in the weeks ahead. Thank you as always for listening!
