  • Hopfrog

    Hopfrog intro was better. DBJ’s intros probably the best part in general except for Pat who we always need more of and Howell’s song. Also appreciate the open advocacy for theft. Could do with less of a constant cycle of nearly indistinguishable LA based guests and talking about manga and Luke buying junk he doesn’t need. Just have Libby on each week.
