Recorded on July 22nd, 2020. This was a last minute episode because Rob originally couldn't record last week. Brent Caldwell from the band Far From Fiction stepped in to save the day. We're talking likes, dislikes, personal stories and a time where Triple H may have considered a restraining order. Side note: recorded over skype so apologies for any audio issues like being cut off at the beginning.
