    6 Bs and a P: Hoagie – Episode 71

    The Browns are just terrible. Terrible. And we had fairly low expectations. Anyway, we put off a show for a while just because we couldn’t even talk about it. We try below. Actually, a more apt description is that we try NOT to talk about the Browns but end up doing it anyway.  We’ll be…

    6 Bs and a P – The Stinkston – Episode 66

      http://www.aquabearlegion.com/podcasts/6b1p-episode66.mp3 0-4! That seems about right.
