It’s been a slow news week and while Nic was away we figured we would play. Gonna be honest we had planned on having this really beefy topic but in typical fashion it just unraveled on us pretty fast. So, buckle in for somewhere between 45 and 60 minutes of swords and diabetes. You’re welcome. […]

In this week’s episode GCR recruits’ friend of the show and past guest Dave The Fish to help steer this rudderless bastard. As a fan of the show since the beginning we couldn’t think of anyone better suited to compile a list of notes for us. Notes for what you ask. While those would be […]
