What's up, everybody?

I'm Linda McLaughlin here for the Rogue Recap.

And there's a lot to get to today.

when they need to sell you something. They don't want to help you. They don't want to go over what's really happening, and they sure as hell don't want to hear your complaints. And so when these people don't show up for
