Rob, Holmes and myself watch a young adult rap about his love for Milfs. This is basically a porno movie plot without any of the stuff that you watch porno for. All of the awful acting is intact as if it were that porno, but in this you get a rap song with a borrowed beat and accidentally hilarious lyrics. This ones not for the kiddos, folks. It's actually not even for adults either. Actually, I don't know what the demographic is for this song. Maybe its for 3 guys hanging out on a zoom call on a Friday night. Enjoy!
