We've resorted to talking about geriatric dogs getting it on, questioning whether gym hookups are real, and butts. We're thankful for all of you out there helping us through it, and we want to hear from you! Hit us up on our Patreon or Instagram. We need human interaction. Learn more about your ad choices.
