Hird, The King and Moogs kick off The Rootrain Podcast. Recorded a few weeks ago pre-isolation, the boys discuss how pre season was looking before COVID-19 hit and delayed the season. Topics of discussion include: Who is MrM?, PFLX, past players, new coaches, Devo's explanations, who was flying on the track?, and even some tag team favourites get a run. NOTE: We had a bit of audio trouble but hopefully can fix it up for the next episode.
