   GODPILLED EP. 10

   We recorded this long ago in the past. It’s not timely; the words aren’t important. We just want you to connect your phone to the dusty JBL you have on your work bench and passively enjoy the original sounds and soothing conversation while you fiddle with your tools in the garage on a hot summer day. Life is a gift, thank you for not paying attention to the theater of this world.

    001 Foolishness of God with Glen Galloway

    I speak with an original Christian weirdo, Glen Galloway, aka Glen Galaxy, about God.
