The Pad-Hoc episodes

  • What an episode without Nate sounds like

  • An actual debate about Monaco

    In a strange turn of events, there's an actual variety of opinions on Monaco for a spell, some very privileged stories and another chance for Nate to rub the Padel win in Chris's face. Plus another Padhocbuster to get stuck into
