I know first one isn't gonna be Rogan level, but it wasn't far off. It was great to listen to you all, no one cutting anyone off or trying to get the last word in. Was funny as well as informative.

Great getting a better understanding of where the whole BadCo legacy began...🙏🤘

[@stephentyndall159]

I'll always remember my first ever session at bad company. It was early 2000's, I remember me and my brother in law walking up York Road and a few of the fighters jogged passed us. I remember thinking SHIT is this a good idea?! Look at the size of their legs!! When we arrived everyone was really welcoming and there was a really good atmosphere. I Went to see almost all the shows that were held around that time too and it seemed like the Bad co fighters were invincible. Good times. Really good podcast too, good luck with it Liam.
