Chicken fights, Asian massage without consent forms, exotic animal ownership. This podcast is perfect PR following the week BYUs had…
I survived. Barely.
Maybe talk about byu sports? That sound you hear? Let me switching to a different Channel as fast as I can. You had a chance, but that's 15 minutes of my life I'll never get back
This is not what I came here for.
