[@alexgeorge563]

I’m sure you don’t read comments but I’ll say this like I’m talking to you anyway. This was one of the best comedy specials I’ve seen in years. I loved the dog rescue bit. I was crying bro! I love the LSDream. I just know you’d be the shit to hang with. Your energy is sincere and comedy is smooth. It’s easy going pro style killing. I can’t believe it took me this long to check out the spesh considering I’ve loved the podcast for so long. I dig the riffs but to see the finished product was beyond my expectations. Thanks bro!
