Franken Episode: Gaben Told On Him
This week it's my fault we didn't record. It's spring time in the south, and I had a sinus infection. I took some time off and got some meds, so fingers crossed to wellness and recordings next week. We have many topics we'd like to discuss!
Franken Episode: Slip-N-Slide
This week Rage had a weird work schedule so we were unable to record this week. I pulled franken content from the newest and oldest episode on the backlog, so we have some things from last week, and things from January. Hope you enjoy, and we'll see you next week!
