  • Daddy's home and your brother sucks REUPLOAD

    AUDIO ONLY REUPLOAD SINCE LIBSYN DOESN'T PUSH ANYTHING OUT ANYWHERE ANYMORE

    Me and Jonathan are back, and we've got some shit to say, mostly I'm officially announcing that I'm gonna be a Dad to some kid who is gonna pop out in a few months. We don't dwell on that too long cause we have some AITAH stories to get to before we take some time to talk about albums that have come out this year. The most important album to come out in 2026 is obviously Sad Giants' Space Case" because of its emotional content, but I might be slightly biased.
