Coffee Friday 005: Around The Horn-y
It's Friday. We're drinking coffee. So yeah, it's coffee Friday. In our final episode of 2022, we decided to do what we do best: break down horny moves from celebrities. This week featured Leonardo DiCaprio (who is dating another 23-year-old) and Samuel L. Jackson (who has no idea that people can see his Twitter likes). We also go through our Christmas breaks before bidding farewell for the year. To anyone who has supported us throughout this year, thank you so much for allowing us to make a career out of doing what we love.

The Hungover Drink Draft & King Nut-A-Lot
Did Dave's hangover from our holiday party lead to us doing a Hungover Drink Draft? Maybe.
