I used to love this podcast but they just quit like a lot of podcasts are bad with there updates but I don’t think this one will ever update again I think it’s over sorry to the other people who also enjoyed this :(🥺😢😔
Ps:if this podcast ever updates again I take this review back and also I rate it 3 stars because it’s a good podcast that doesn’t update so its downgraded from 5 stars
PPS:gta 7 or another episode on imagine this which will come first?
