This is my favorite food podcast that pairs well with heavy music
Amazing podcast. You guys make my ears smile. What’s the beef with the palm mute goats?!
It’s the same stuff every month with this podcast. Hardlore has lost its charm.
Rip and Bo’s a douche.
I hated this show until I listened to the variety of content. Now, I’m here to give high praise. Loved the Professor Bo history lesson. I need one of those quarterly. The variety of content keeps this show entertaining and engaging. Collin should have just been a comedian.
Finally, PRO-PAIN is the best metal/hardcore band name.
Could listen to Colin’s voice foreverrr!!!
