    Well I’m back. And I’m getting drunk with Luke as we talk about beefing with a horse, death by uppercut, and whether or not Christopher Lee could consent to AI usage.

Some very biased perspectives

I like the host. She is like able and fun. However in most every show I’ve listened to there is such a biased leaning towards the left for idiotic reasons. Like it or not Tolkien was a Christian man and a man of faith. Truth doesn’t change just because it’s the “20th century”. I’m not here to listen to your liberal view points I thought I’d be hearing about the world of Middle Earth.
