1:21:19

We've been crapping all over radio execs for years, but someone from KROQ does it and now suddenly it's gospel. We're offended. But we're also glad that everyone agrees with us now. Scott doesn't know that feeling, being a Minnesotan who's willing to go against the grain. We don't do that very well in this state. See Privacy Policy at https://art19…

Cars are crazy these days. They can drive themselves, but you can't get the door open. You can watch questionable material at 1080p while on the highway.
