Love your YouTube multi guest videos Joel, but dude, listen to your mum and stay on topic. I love how she pulls you into line when you go on random topics.

If you want 100 repetitive hours on every meaningless rumor about every case everywhere with an idiot as host, here you go.

If you don’t enjoy having her on the show, just do it yourself. I really do en... more
