DustinMcDonald ,

Trung Sent Me Here ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I have can watch Netflix, Apple TV, HBO Max, and Amazon Prime.

What do I choose?

NIA streamed to my TV.

Excellent insights and commentary make it my go-to podcast and the only news-related content I consume.

Listen to episode 31 and hear Trung breathlessly explain why Costco is amazing and you’ll be hooked.

Looking forward to Jack dropping his pizza NFT project. Hope I get an ultra rare pie. New profile pic coming. 🍕

elenadimitrova ,
