I don’t review podcasts that often but.....

Oh! You’re awake. You might have to lean in a little closer to hear this review over the buzz in the gaming podcast community. Luckily for you I have a minute or two to spare to tell you about EXPCast before my pizza rolls are done. When I’m not drinking an endless supply of Monster energy drinks and punching holes in drywall, I like to listen to this podcast. Sorry, you’re going to have to leave now. My mom doesn’t like it when I have friends over and I only made enough pizza rolls for me.
Why are you even reading this? You should be listening to the podcast. Seriously.
