  • Lapanta

    Why does Lapanta talk constantly like he has peanut butter stuck in the roof like f his mouth? Can’t stand to listen to him speak, condescendingly nonetheless, believe it or not.

  • Needs a balance

    Not a bad podcast but Lapanta just talks about himself, gets annoying to the point I had to shut it off. Want to hear more from Russo.
