  • Keep it up!!

    I found y’all very recently due to looking for people talking about DATE EVERYTHING. Since that episode I have picked and chose about 10-15 eps that I have listened to and plan on listening to the rest of games I have not heard of. Really like your chemistry with each other and appreciate your insight you have gained a faithful listener
