Dear War Rocket,
I found out about your podcast three days ago and right now I only have this to say “You would have to be an idiot to say that you heard one episode and didn’t like it because your podcast is the meaning of amazing.” Please let the rest of your podcasts be as incredible as the last.
I like how this page still refers to Euge.
I like how the comment above still refers to Euge.
I like how much of a slow burn the previous comment was.
My first episode was the one where Matt tells a 20 minute story about trying to get a pair of pants to match his suit. I’m not sure why that hooked me.
