Explicit content warning
03/18/20 • 76 min
We discuss the current events that are gripping the world and how those issues effect our lives and the Magic community at large. Special guest on the show this week is Jeremy's son and my Godson, Gabe. So be prepared for him to argue against the points that we're trying to make and make his presence known. Stay safe out there and help each other when you can.
