Van's lion talked reminds me of a movie called Uncaged. Good movie fun watch
I normally like your take on many topics but I really wished you would've did your research as to why it was so significant for the red wave not to have happened.
I really enjoyed that conversation
so this means you would have a problem with black country singers? country music has been seen as white forever.
They can only spend 4% of the endowment per year.
Oh yeah, there's a documentary called "Earth at Night in Color" and one episode is ALL ABOUT a mountain Lion living in the middle of LA 😳😬
Where's today's episode?
Check out The Fish Locker on YouTube. A lot of fun videos about fishing and beach foraging.
Sandwich attack! 01:53:00.
I would like the longer podcast
Van is talking about Idlewild, Michigan
The way Van talks about poly life is ignorant. You are misinformed and sound insensitive with your jokes.. I don't know... There's room for "learning" about a lifestyle YOU don't understand. Cheers tho. Love the pod.
facts are facts, MICHAEL JACKSON WAS NEVER CHARGED. Cases thrown out by the COURTS. investigated by the FBI. nothing found.. UNLIKE, R-kelly..bill Cosby.. were FACTS were found against them. stop clowning..... Rachel
Rachel, omg, I was thinking the same thing about Chloe performance, it was a Beyonce type performance.
glad someone finally announced being over Tiffany, Luis, Gucci, Pookie and every other foolishness
why do we keep giving these racial traitors platforms? This interview was like listening to MR. Candace Owens. Every word or of this lunatics mouth sickened me.
This man sounds like a Tiger Woods my god. please don't do another interview with him. I want to bang my head against the wall.
This interview is so difficult to sit through while this man keeps telling me how I should feel about new information that comes forward. There's still no excess for that Karen weaponizing the color of someone's skin against them.
....is someone breathing heavily throughout this whole interview or my headphones broken? lol
Great Podcast <3
