    18/05/2022 Duración: 21min

    GAIDEN #11-- Today James avoids talking about the major news stories of the day in favor of getting in and out as fast as he can, like some sort of a tactical f*ck-up unit. It's a quick one, but we got plenty of garbage to go around. Today he talks about Russia's dumbest assassin, a Florida man's one-man-war on God, and two quick stories about absconded apes and a famous Japanese landmark. And that's it.
