  • It’s okay I guess

    Probably the best intro to any podcast ever, great cast, and the sneakiest sound bites. Shouts to Eric for his movie reviews, he might be the reason I started listening to you guys.

    Can’t thank y’all enough for repping the west side (Long Beach!!!), love y’all.

    Fine it’s great.
