Our world is made up of innumerable colours of every shade and tone. Some are good, other bad, but no matter what, they certainly exist.

But fret not, here is sweet shot of Primordial Views right into the vastus lateralis. We originally recorded this material to have a little bit of content to make up our episode on Sex in case Ronan had to edit too much of what James spouted off. Please enjoy and we'll see you next week for a new full-length episode! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
