The Choude Goude Gua'a'a Badere, Hello and welcome to yet another episode of the lines led by Donkeys

podcast I'm Joe and with me as always for the most part is Nick.

Yes. Returning champion from the field.

Special guest.

Yes, special regular guest.

that was grown by French foreign legionnaires in their retirement village.

So, calm down everybody.
