Ron Mexico - bsky.app/profile/lronmexico.bsky.social Trisha - stays offline because she's not stupid Sound engineering on everything but Get Her A...

City Saint and Country Saint Episode 4 S1W3 Packers - vodkalemonades Sort Of

It's a weird one, folks. Our guest's audio file was corrupted and useless, so the episode is a 20 minute chop job of whatever Charles could salvage from the hosts' tracks plus a short interlude where Alex (@vodkalemonades) talks trash on behalf of all Packer fans after their come-from-behind 18-17 win. Also, shout out to our original guest, Matt Christman, whose absence started for the best reason (his daughter's birth!) before turning scary with the downturn in his health. Get well soon, @cushb...
