Battle lines will be drawn as Eduardo and Peach3z find Drax too ridiculous to take seriously, while Chris and Robbie want to focus on the heart beneath the humor (but also the humor). There was so much to talk about, we actually had to split this into two episodes! So come a little bit closer and enjoy part one of this wham bam shang-a-lang of a podcast!
