S4 EP1 THE WAITING ROOM - The Leap Back

Wed, 12 Mar 2025 00:00:00 +0000

The lads hit Season 4!

Sam and Al have swapped places? We have some great 1940's sets, but 1999 is annoying.

Tina is irritating. Plus Ziggy is a bit icky?

SI - Huge shoutout to my partner in time BenNny for getting this recorded. BenNny was really poorly at time of recording, but powered through. Legend.
