giving 50 year old rock any title devalues it and the entire roster
What the fuck is a Nadine smith. Can i get a content warning heads up next time
audio is terrible on these.
I guess no review of Full Gear, huh?
Kaz sufficates the show. I blame David for not interjecting himself enough. Show has lost its way.
