Episode 23: Foo Fighters

There goes my podcast... It's ordinary...

We've got another confession to make! We're your fool... At least Adam is because today we're talking all about his passion for the music band Foo Fighters! We examine Adam's love for all things Foo and Dave Grohl, and Daniel's somewhat similar opinions. Run and tell all of the angels, this won't take all night. But it will be a rompin' good time, one which will last... an Everlong time? We don't know.

You'll certainly laugh a lot, learn a little, and laugh... a little. It's times like these you learn to listen again!
