Our POoRCHoices the Podcast

This week Corporal, Sarcastro, Fatty, and Banky kick of the show with a quick few minutes about how they feel about watching sporting events.

They then move into an update on the total run time of all the movies that Commando has to watch as part of his absentee punishment.
