You know who else poured everything into their character? @fmruin.bsky.social and his portrayal of Ignis on the last episode of Character Issues. Nominate him for all the awards.

New 2 host episode will drop on Monday so prepare your ears for half of the normal American garbage you normally hear on the podcast! I'm pretty sure they committed some list crimes in my absence and I can't wait to get irrationally angry about it.
