If this podcast were a movie this would be an episode that wouldnt make the final cut. Last weeks episode was the beggining of the Rocky Montage that leads to victory so naturally this episode is meant to be something more challenging or victorious. Instead this is the purgatory episode. Between the bad and the good without much going on at all. Wo…
