There’s a ton of great episodes, but if this isn’t top 5 for the hilarious outrage targeting alone I’ll ride the magic carpet all season.
Now i need a pair of Commies…and maybe some Wildcats for Wildcat. Keep up the good work
Cat Scratch 😜 great episode with Luke from Moment. Please do a gear therapy session on ski length. Are people skiing on too short/ long of skis.
