[rock music] In preparing for today's show, I actually went back to an older show from last August.
Steve FriendHOST
I believe it was called Destined for Mob Rule.
Steve FriendHOST
I will rely on Rose Lopez in the chat on Rumble and YouTube.

Destined for Mob Rule, I believe, and it was in August.
Steve FriendHOST
And during that episode, I was talking about the cycle of government.
Steve FriendHOST

A.C. GraylingGUEST
Wonderful word.
A.C. GraylingGUEST
