  • Face sore from smiling

    It’s so rare in times like these where 3 artists can come together to bare their souls and help us out in the process. I haven’t been able to stop smiling since becoming a tactician and I’ve lost 40 pounds by eating guacarritos. Great companion podcast to Smartless 💙
