WORLD GONE GOOD

Mark Longo has a squirrel named Peanut for a roommate & with over 1 million followers on Tik Tok, there ain't nothin' wrong with that. So many good questions to answer: Does he have rabies? What about Mark? Where does he go to the bathroom? Again, what about Mark? And most importantly, is a squirrel the best wingman ever?

But again, what about Mark?).
