Miscellaneous
We're concerned that whatever we find annoying or pointless or to have dodgy practices becomes the next massive thing - so with that said, look forward to a year full of TikTok and Clubhouse! We're also on the waiting list to have chips inserted into our heads, which will hopefully have no ill effects whatsoever, and thinking about what records we can set for Ben's new favourite website. Oh, and Weezer's new album is ace! If you enjoy this episode, leave a comment, share it with someone who you think shares your excellent taste and if you leave us a review, we'll love you forever!
