  • Best podcast ever

    While listening to these guys they make my day and I spend most of my time painting, so they’re a good podcast to listen to while I’m sitting in my little corner of solitude. Can’t wait for the clans to show up and for them to talk about the king crab personally, I think the king crab is a perfect ass assault mix, and anyone who says otherwise it’s probably on drugs lol

  • Re-listening in 2025

    I really like hearing the guys again and hearing Aaron dropping 4 f-bombs already in the first 20 minutes is funny. I’m having a good time re-listening to the podcast especially with having past 100 episodes now.
