Sorry For The Delay | EP.122 | Early Gardeners, Marble Racing & Quiet Echoes

This week, Sean declares war on early gardeners, then drags Joshua into marble racing with Vegas stakes & snow as the referee (fake spring is a scam). The boys spiral into quiet echoes, workplace automation anxiety, vanished-on-record dread & a heartfelt Death Of A Hero talk before misfortune cookies closes the tab. Enjoy the show!
