| 6/24/26 |  Retro Re-View #109: USWA 11/23/91 (The Candyman Cometh… Unfortunately) | As we open Episode #109, Corey Maclin is still in the mix alongside Dave Brown, and the USWA seems to be deep in a “throwing s*** at the wall” phase. The Spirit of America is back, the Gravedigger is back, Nate the Rat has money for some reason and is threatening to cremate Jeff Jarrett , Reggie B. Fine has apparently found religion and the board game, Candy Land and has turned into the “Candyman”, and Jerry Lawler is trying to explain a Thanksgiving “turkey match” while wearing one of the ugliest outfits he has ever worn on television.Gene, Josh, and BT spend a lot of time trying to figure out exactly what happened to the show. Not long ago, 1991 USWA felt like one of the strongest runs they had covered, with Eric Embry, Jeff Jarrett, Robert Fuller, Dr. Tom Prichard, Bill Dundee, “Uncle Danny”, and the Texas vs. Tennessee war keeping things moving. Now, suddenly, the show is full of Gravediggers, Candy Men, Spirit of America garbage bags, turkey feathers, blowtorches, weird rankings, and gimmicks that feel more like someone trying to copy WWF without fully understanding why any of it worked.That makes the episode frustrating as wrestling TV, but very funny as podcast material, which will leave you feeling just as “turkeyfied” as Tony Falk when it’s over.Episode #109 is full of bad gimmicks, strange decisions, hilarious commentary, and that very specific kind of Memphis wrestling weirdness where even when the show is falling apart, you still can’t look away (unless your Josh in 1991).

| 6/17/26 |  Re-View #108: USWA TV 11/16/91 (The Spirit of America Show starring Spirit of America) | Episode #108 takes the Retro USWA Gang back to the November 16, 1991 episode of USWA Championship Wrestling, and if 1991 has been a roller coaster, this one may be the part where the wheels start sparking on the track. Corey Maclin is now back in the co-host chair with Dave Brown, but unfortunately for him, he arrives just in time for one of the strangest episodes of the year.This week’s show introduces not one, but two new gimmicks: The Spirit of America, a red, white, and blue babyface who wants kids to help clean up parks and throw wrestling trash into a 55 gallon drum, and The Gravedigger, a very familiar looking dark character managed by Nate the Rat, complete with body bags, dirt, rats, spooky music, and absolutely zero subtlety.Gene, Josh, and BT spend a good chunk of the episode trying to make sense of how the USWA went from the tighter Eric Embry booked run earlier in the year to this late 1991 parade of gimmicks, green screens, public domain music, trash barrels, body bags, and Toyota sponsored tournament hype. The guys also dig into the question of whether Jerry Lawler’s booking style is starting to show, with big characters and broad gimmicks suddenly taking over the show.The episode is not exactly a glowing review of the television show, but it is a very entertaining breakdown of one of those weeks where Memphis wrestling goes so far into “what were they thinking?” territory that the podcast almost writes itself. Between Spirit of America’s cleanup campaign, The Gravedigger’s Undertaker-adjacent debut, Kamala green screens, numerous Jeff Jarrett promos, and a tournament that feels halfway important and halfway thrown together, there is plenty for the boys to laugh at, question, and dissect.If you’re following the 1991 USWA journey, Episode #108 is a key example of just how weird the promotion gets as the year winds down. It may not be great television, but it is absolutely memorable podcast material.If you're enjoying WrestleCopia and interested in helping us continue to grow, please consider Subscribing to our Patreon to help us cover some of our costs! https://www.patreon.com/wrestlecopiaYOU CAN ALSO GIFT SOMEONE A PATREON MEMBERSHIP (OR ASK THEM TO GIFT YOU ONE) AT https://www.patreon.com/WrestleCopia/giftIncludes the $5 “All Access” Tier $9 "VIP Superfan" Tier, and "The ULLLTIMATE Tier", featuring our various VIDEO-CAST Series, Early Show Releases, our insanely detailed show notes (for the Grenade, Monday Warfare, Regional Rasslin, Puro Academy, & Retro Re-View), monthly DIGITAL DOWNLOADS for your viewing and reading pleasure, & more!HELP SUPPORT THE SELF-FUNDED WRESTLECOPIA BRAND, CONSIDER DONATING TO OUR PAYPALWRESTLECOPIA MERCHANDISE - https://www.teepublic.com/user/wrestlecopiaVisit the WrestleCopia Podcast Network https://wrestlecopia.comFollow WrestleCopia on “X” (Formerly Twitter) @RasslinGrenadeFollow & LIKE our FACEBOOK PAGE – https://www.facebook.com/RasslinGrenadeSubscribe to the WrestleCopia Youtube Channel at https://www.youtube.com/RasslinGrenade ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★ | 2h 01m 43s | ||||||
| 6/10/26 |  Re-View #107: USWA TV 11/9/91 (Meet Billy Joe's SUPER TEAM) | Episode #107 of the Retro Wrestling Re-View USWA Podcast takes Gene Jackson, Josh Briley, and Brian Tramel back to the November 9, 1991 episode of USWA Championship Wrestling, featuring a Dr. Tom Prichard vs. Eric Embry title match live in the studio, along with Billy Joe Travis committing his worst atrocity yet unleashing the “SUPER TEAM” on everyone. At the center of the episode is Dr. Tom Prichard vs. Eric Embry, a match that looks great on paper because both guys can absolutely work, but also comes with all the baggage of where Embry is in the promotion at this point and how the USWA is trying to position everybody heading into the next phase of the story.This is one of those episodes where the talent list is stronger than the actual direction of the show. There are plenty of names worth watching, but the bigger fun comes from the podcast gang trying to figure out what the promotion is building toward, what still works, what already feels tired, and what somehow remains entertaining in spite of itself. If you’re following the 1991 USWA journey, Episode #107 is another important stop in the march through late year Memphis madness with Prichard, Embry, Gaylord, Travis, Dirty White Boy, Jarrett, Masters, and Sawyer all part of the mix as the territory keeps pushing forward one chaotic Saturday morning at a time.If you're enjoying WrestleCopia and interested in helping us continue to grow, please consider Subscribing to our Patreon to help us cover some of our costs! https://www.patreon.com/wrestlecopiaYOU CAN ALSO GIFT SOMEONE A PATREON MEMBERSHIP (OR ASK THEM TO GIFT YOU ONE) AT https://www.patreon.com/WrestleCopia/giftIncludes the $5 “All Access” Tier $9 "VIP Superfan" Tier, and "The ULLLTIMATE Tier", featuring our various VIDEO-CAST Series, Early Show Releases, our insanely detailed show notes (for the Grenade, Monday Warfare, Regional Rasslin, Puro Academy, & Retro Re-View), monthly DIGITAL DOWNLOADS for your viewing and reading pleasure, & more!HELP SUPPORT THE SELF-FUNDED WRESTLECOPIA BRAND, CONSIDER DONATING TO OUR PAYPALWRESTLECOPIA MERCHANDISE - https://www.teepublic.com/user/wrestlecopiaVisit the WrestleCopia Podcast Network https://wrestlecopia.comFollow WrestleCopia on “X” (Formerly Twitter) @RasslinGrenadeFollow & LIKE our FACEBOOK PAGE – https://www.facebook.com/RasslinGrenadeSubscribe to the WrestleCopia Youtube Channel at https://www.youtube.com/RasslinGrenade ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★ | 1h 47m 21s | ||||||
| 6/3/26 |  Re-View #106: USWA TV 11/2/91 (FLEA COMES HOME) | Episode #106 of the Retro Wrestling Re-View USWA Podcast takes the gang back to the November 2, 1991 episode of USWA Championship Wrestling, and somehow the show manages to bring both good news and awful news at the exact same time.The good news? Corey Maclin is back at the desk with Dave Brown, and Gene could not be happier.The bad news? Well… just about everything else is fighting uphill.This week’s USWA TV features Doug Masters and Bart Sawyer continuing their push as new heel challengers to Jeff Jarrett and Robert Fuller, though the guys still aren’t completely sold on Masters, Sawyer, or the way the “Bartman” act is being used. Meanwhile, Billy Joe Travis returns with a new hired gun after last week’s masked man experiment goes nowhere, and this time he brings in “The Missouri Tiger” Jeff Gaylord to challenge Jerry Lawler for the Unified World Title, and when Jeff Gaylord is the top challenger for Jerry Lawler’s Unified title, these are time so hard that Dusty Rhodes couldn’t ever relate to them. Meanwhile, Dog of War is still here patiently waiting for Jimmy Valiant to bring back, “Flea”……and sadly it appears the “Freezer Thompson Experiment” is reaching it’s conclusion. This episode is peak “we’re just trying to survive this stretch of Memphis TV” energy: bad booking, funny promos that shouldn’t be funny, attempts at funny promos that aren’t, confusing angles, and three hosts doing their best to make sense of whatever the USWA thought this was supposed to be.If you're enjoying WrestleCopia and interested in helping us continue to grow, please consider Subscribing to our Patreon to help us cover some of our costs! https://www.patreon.com/wrestlecopiaYOU CAN ALSO GIFT SOMEONE A PATREON MEMBERSHIP (OR ASK THEM TO GIFT YOU ONE) AT https://www.patreon.com/WrestleCopia/giftIncludes the $5 “All Access” Tier $9 "VIP Superfan" Tier, and "The ULLLTIMATE Tier", featuring our various VIDEO-CAST Series, Early Show Releases, our insanely detailed show notes (for the Grenade, Monday Warfare, Regional Rasslin, Puro Academy, & Retro Re-View), monthly DIGITAL DOWNLOADS for your viewing and reading pleasure, & more!HELP SUPPORT THE SELF-FUNDED WRESTLECOPIA BRAND, CONSIDER DONATING TO OUR PAYPALWRESTLECOPIA MERCHANDISE - https://www.teepublic.com/user/wrestlecopiaVisit the WrestleCopia Podcast Network https://wrestlecopia.comFollow WrestleCopia on “X” (Formerly Twitter) @RasslinGrenadeFollow & LIKE our FACEBOOK PAGE – https://www.facebook.com/RasslinGrenadeSubscribe to the WrestleCopia Youtube Channel at https://www.youtube.com/RasslinGrenade ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★ | 1h 48m 47s | ||||||
| 5/27/26 |  Re-View #105: USWA 10/26/91 (The Texas Bunch Falls Apart) | Episode #105 of the Retro Wrestling Re-View USWA Podcast takes Gene, Josh, Brian, and their old pal Richard who makes a surprise “one off” return this week back to October 26, 1991 as they break down a show built around some major storyline shifts, questionable new arrivals, and a whole lot of “what the hell are we doing here?”The big story is the official split between Eric Embry and Dr. Tom Prichard, as the Texas Bunch finally falls apart after Prichard repeatedly nails Embry during the six-man tag from the Mid-South Coliseum. From there, Dr. Tom cuts one of the most fascinating promos of this 1991 run, openly addressing accusations that he sounds like a “cheap Roddy Piper imitation,” while also explaining why he’s done being Embry’s stooge.Meanwhile, Jerry Lawler and Billy Joe Travis continue their feud after Lawler throws fire at Billy Joe in the Coliseum. Unfortunately for Billy Joe, the aftermath includes one of the least convincing “burned face” sell jobs you’ll ever see, followed by the arrival of a mysterious masked man who may or may not be The Snowman (he’s not)Also this week:Doug Masters debuts his new partner, Bart Sawyer and the gang is underwhelmedFreezer Thompson continues his strange babyface mini/sorta pushDog of War is still looking for Flea and Jimmy ValiantPlus! We hear from “Memaw” for the first time in MONTHS!This is one of those episodes where the review may be more entertaining than the wrestling show itself with plenty of Memphis confusion, bad booking decisions, questionable promos, and the return of Richard Mullikin at exactly the right time for listeners and wrong time for his sanity!If you're enjoying WrestleCopia and interested in helping us continue to grow, please consider Subscribing to our Patreon to help us cover some of our costs! https://www.patreon.com/wrestlecopiaYOU CAN ALSO GIFT SOMEONE A PATREON MEMBERSHIP (OR ASK THEM TO GIFT YOU ONE) AT https://www.patreon.com/WrestleCopia/giftIncludes the $5 “All Access” Tier $9 "VIP Superfan" Tier, and "The ULLLTIMATE Tier", featuring our various VIDEO-CAST Series, Early Show Releases, our insanely detailed show notes (for the Grenade, Monday Warfare, Regional Rasslin, Puro Academy, & Retro Re-View), monthly DIGITAL DOWNLOADS for your viewing and reading pleasure, & more!HELP SUPPORT THE SELF-FUNDED WRESTLECOPIA BRAND, CONSIDER DONATING TO OUR PAYPALWRESTLECOPIA MERCHANDISE - https://www.teepublic.com/user/wrestlecopiaVisit the WrestleCopia Podcast Network https://wrestlecopia.comFollow WrestleCopia on “X” (Formerly Twitter) @RasslinGrenadeFollow & LIKE our FACEBOOK PAGE – https://www.facebook.com/RasslinGrenadeSubscribe to the WrestleCopia Youtube Channel at https://www.youtube.com/RasslinGrenade ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★ | 1h 53m 10s | ||||||
| 5/20/26 |  Re-View #104: USWA 10/19/91 (Dave's Not Here, Man) | Episode #104 of the Retro Wrestling Re-View USWA Podcast takes Gene Jackson, Josh Briley, and Brian Tramel back to October 19, 1991, and this week’s USWA Championship Wrestling is… well, let’s just say Dave Brown picked a hell of a week to go on vacation.With Michael St. John flying solo at the desk, the show opens with a highlight reel of Eric Embry absolutely abusing Eddie Marlin, setting the stage for a big six-man tag at the Mid-South Coliseum:Eddie Marlin, Jeff Jarrett & Robert Fuller vs. Eric Embry, Dr. Tom Prichard & Tony Falk.Eddie Marlin promises he may be past his prime, but if he can just bust Embry in the mouth one time, it’ll all be worth it. Meanwhile, Jarrett makes yet another dramatic promise, Robert Fuller fires everybody up, and Embry’s crew continues to stir the pot.The guys break down the episode segment-by-segment, including why Freezer Thompson’s mini-push actually works, why the Dog of War angle feels like it’s wandering into very dangerous territory, and why Billy Joe Travis may be becoming one of the most polarizing figures on the entire Retro Wrestling Archive Network.It’s another strange, funny, frustrating, and somehow still entertaining week of early-90s Memphis wrestling.If you love USWA chaos, Mid-South Coliseum build, Eric Embry madness, Lawler promos, Billy Joe Travis drama, and three guys trying to make sense of Memphis logic in real time… this one is for you.If you're enjoying WrestleCopia and interested in helping us continue to grow, please consider Subscribing to our Patreon to help us cover some of our costs! https://www.patreon.com/wrestlecopiaYOU CAN ALSO GIFT SOMEONE A PATREON MEMBERSHIP (OR ASK THEM TO GIFT YOU ONE) AT https://www.patreon.com/WrestleCopia/giftIncludes the $5 “All Access” Tier $9 "VIP Superfan" Tier, and "The ULLLTIMATE Tier", featuring our various VIDEO-CAST Series, Early Show Releases, our insanely detailed show notes (for the Grenade, Monday Warfare, Regional Rasslin, Puro Academy, & Retro Re-View), monthly DIGITAL DOWNLOADS for your viewing and reading pleasure, & more!HELP SUPPORT THE SELF-FUNDED WRESTLECOPIA BRAND, CONSIDER DONATING TO OUR PAYPALWRESTLECOPIA MERCHANDISE - https://www.teepublic.com/user/wrestlecopiaVisit the WrestleCopia Podcast Network https://wrestlecopia.comFollow WrestleCopia on “X” (Formerly Twitter) @RasslinGrenadeFollow & LIKE our FACEBOOK PAGE – https://www.facebook.com/RasslinGrenadeSubscribe to the WrestleCopia Youtube Channel at https://www.youtube.com/RasslinGrenade ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★ | 1h 31m 12s | ||||||

Gossett (comparing him to a septic tank) and brings in Eddie Marlin—to absolutely ZERO crowd reaction Eric Embry continues to spiral, cutting another intense promo while the Tom Prichard storyline quietly builds in the background Tojo Yamamoto absolutely CRACKS Dutch with the flagpole in one of the stiffest shots we’ve seen on the show Embry follows it up by choking Eddie Marlin with his own tie, turning his face beet red Billy Joe Travis delivers an all-time bad musical performance… then makes up for it by obliterating Chris Frazier with a guitar shotThrow in a bullwhip and Jerry Lawler plugging a celebrity softball game with Ernest P.

| 4/8/26 |  Re-View #98: USWA 9/7/91 (THINGS GET HEAVY!) | Things are getting loud, chaotic, and downright ridiculous in the USWA and we are HERE for all of it!On Episode #98 of the Retro Wrestling Re-View USWA Podcast, Gene Jackson, Josh Briley, Brian Tramel, and special guest Robb Helt break down the September 7, 1991 episode of USWA which is a show packed with wild promos, heated rivalries, and some truly unforgettable moments!Right out of the gate, we’ve got: The fallout from the Dragon Master’s one week Unified title reign (one week too many) Christopher “Honey” Love in peak form...loud, outrageous, and absolutely carrying every segment he’s in The debut of the PYTs (Pretty Young Things) Unfortunately this isn't Koko and Norvell…but let’s just say, they do make an impression But the real story of the episode?Christopher "Honey" Love vs. Ronnie P. Gossett.When Jeff Jarrett & Robert Fuller bring in Gossett to counter Honey Love, it creates one of the most bizarre, hilarious, and heat filled manager confrontations you’ll ever see.

Then… Christopher “Honey” Love delivers an all-timer promo complete with a proposed dress code for the fans on Monday night that might be the most Memphis thing ever put on television.From there:A fantastic TV match between Dr. Tom Prichard and Nightmare Danny Davis that reminds you just how good this roster could beA chaotic Miss Texas vs. Sweet Georgia Brown ringside brawl Dutch Mantell returns and immediately starts roasting his own WCW “Desperado” run while teaming with LawlerReggie B. Fine continues to be the most unintentionally hilarious man in wrestlingHandsome Jimmy Valiant and Sweet Georgia Brown turn Dave Brown’s life into an HR violation nightmare.And yes… an unprotected chair shot from Bill Dundee that sounds like it echoed through three countiesPlus, we run down the absolutely STACKED Labor Day Star Wars card featuring 14 matches, 37 wrestlers, along with a TWO RING, TRIPLE CHANCE BATTLE ROYAL.This show had everything.

(Not sure what that means but somehow it works for Valiant) The Dirty White Boy signs a waiver only to immediately get jumped and beatdown by Eric Embry and Dr. Tom Prichard. Miss Texas slaps, kicks, and humiliates Rockin’ Randy in one of the wildest segments of the year.Christopher Love (yes… that Christopher Love aka Bert Prentice) unveils the mysterious Dragon Master, a legitimate 7-foot-3 giant sent to eliminate Jerry Lawler from the USWA. Meanwhile, Lord Humongous’ mask finally comes off in perhaps the most uncomfortable studio segment we’ve seen yet (seriously, it was...you just have to watch it).Plus:Bill Dundee vs. Danny Davis continues to simmerJarrett & Fuller defend against another makeshift challenger teamReggie B.

The Light Heavyweight Title now carries a $40,000 Japan payday attached to it and suddenly this isn’t about friendship or belts anymore. Dundee calls Davis greedy. Davis calls Dundee a backbiter.What started as mutual respect turns into one of the most emotionally real promos we’ve seen in months. This was Memphis storytelling at its best.Plus We Discuss:Why Memphis constantly undercut its own stipulationsThe long-term damage of not paying off angles and delivering finishesWhether Dirty White Boy was legitimately injured?Awesome Kong vs. Freezer Thompson II (the rematch nobody asked for)And Dave Brown absolutely not tolerating nonsense this weekEpisode #93 delivers chaos, emotional storytelling, and one of the most talked about punches of the year.And yes… we spend entirely too much time talking about The Goon Squad.If you're enjoying WrestleCopia and interested in helping us continue to grow, please consider Subscribing to our Patreon to help us cover some of our costs! https://www.patreon.com/wrestlecopiaYOU CAN ALSO GIFT SOMEONE A PATREON MEMBERSHIP (OR ASK THEM TO GIFT YOU ONE) AT https://www.patreon.com/WrestleCopia/giftIncludes the $5 “All Access” Tier $9 "VIP Superfan" Tier, and "The ULLLTIMATE Tier", featuring our various VIDEO-CAST Series, Early Show Releases, our insanely detailed show notes (for the Grenade, Monday Warfare, Regional Rasslin, Puro Academy, & Retro Re-View), monthly DIGITAL DOWNLOADS for your viewing and reading pleasure, & more!HELP SUPPORT THE SELF-FUNDED WRESTLECOPIA BRAND, CONSIDER DONATING TO OUR PAYPALWRESTLECOPIA MERCHANDISE - https://www.teepublic.com/user/wrestlecopiaVisit the WrestleCopia Podcast Network https://wrestlecopia.comFollow WrestleCopia on “X” (Formerly Twitter) @RasslinGrenadeFollow & LIKE our FACEBOOK PAGE – https://www.facebook.com/RasslinGrenadeSubscribe to the WrestleCopia Youtube Channel at https://www.youtube.com/RasslinGrenade ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★ | 1h 45m 42s | ||||||

Gene Jackson, Josh Briley, and Brian Tramel dive into another wild Saturday morning episode of USWA Championship Wrestling featuring one of the most bizarre (and oddly unforgettable) stretches of television the territory ever produced.Leatherface continues terrorizing the promotion, complete with homemade horror movie vignettes that somehow managed to both scare kids and confuse grown adults while Jerry Lawler shifts his focus from championship gold to settling personal scores once and for all.Eric Embry melts down over Cousin Harold, tag team champions Jeff Jarrett and Robert Fuller deliver another history lesson disguised as a promo while everyone "enjoys" their "Walking in Memphis" video....again, and the Dirty White Boy and Dirty White Girl promise yet another Back Alley Street Brawl where somebody might wind up leaving the building without their dignity… or their clothes.Add in the debut of a mysterious challenger named Sampson, Reggie B. Fine stealing every second of television time he’s given, and one of the greatest “friends… until we’re not” promos you’ll ever see unfold between "Superstar" Bill Dundee and "Nightmare" Danny Davis and you’ve got peak USWA fun!

Meanwhile, Eric Embry continues his reign of annoying the Memphis babyfaces, lying with confidence, dodging consequences, and drawing out his increasingly heated feud with Jerry “The King” Lawler, which is now barreling toward a lumberjack showdown.The show also introduces the Barroom Brawlers, a rough around the edges team whose debut includes chair shots, confusion, and one of the most unintentionally funny promos in recent memory. Add in mud hole match insanity, Lawler squashing Judge Dread, and Memphis TV at its most unfiltered, and you’ve got another episode that perfectly captures why this era remains endlessly fascinating.On this episode:Samu (Sabu) debuts (again) as The Mystery Man (yeah, I don’t know either)Rob Van Dam’s early Memphis run and unconventional styleEric Embry’s greatest hits: lies, excuses, and chaosJerry Lawler asserts control with authority and violenceThe debut of the Barroom Brawlers and chair-swinging mayhemDr. Tom Prichard, Miss Texas, Dirty White Boy & Dirty White Girl collideMud hole matches, questionable promos, and classic Memphis energyIt’s another episode where logic takes a back seat to entertainment but it’s definitely fun, join us!If you're enjoying WrestleCopia and interested in helping us continue to grow, please consider Subscribing to our Patreon to help us cover some of our costs! https://www.patreon.com/wrestlecopiaYOU CAN ALSO GIFT SOMEONE A PATREON MEMBERSHIP (OR ASK THEM TO GIFT YOU ONE) AT https://www.patreon.com/WrestleCopia/giftIncludes the $5 “All Access” Tier $9 "VIP Superfan" Tier, and "The ULLLTIMATE Tier", featuring our various VIDEO-CAST Series, Early Show Releases, our insanely detailed show notes (for the Grenade, Monday Warfare, Regional Rasslin, Puro Academy, & Retro Re-View), monthly DIGITAL DOWNLOADS for your viewing and reading pleasure, & more!HELP SUPPORT THE SELF-FUNDED WRESTLECOPIA BRAND, CONSIDER DONATING TO OUR PAYPALWRESTLECOPIA MERCHANDISE - https://www.teepublic.com/user/wrestlecopiaVisit the WrestleCopia Podcast Network https://wrestlecopia.comFollow WrestleCopia on “X” (Formerly Twitter) @RasslinGrenadeFollow & LIKE our FACEBOOK PAGE – https://www.facebook.com/RasslinGrenadeSubscribe to the WrestleCopia Youtube Channel at https://www.youtube.com/RasslinGrenade ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★ | 1h 20m 03s | ||||||
