All she talked about was death religion and politics..really?! My family has recently experienced terminal illness, death, and all that comes with it.

  • Go on Alan

    Love the show, very genuine and often goes off script. Fat boy slim ep is the best when Alan admits he doesn’t see the point of wind turbines. 🤣🤣

    Keep being you Alan! ♥️
