He said he had run out of people to interview but this is hard to beleive
Allegedly Tom needs the extra time away as he’s heading over to The U.S.A. to be Kayne West’s campaign manager for his presidential run.
Without Kitty and now Tom it doesn’t leave much once CP has recapped the week.
Please leave for real this time.
Well the covid-safe Yard Chat segement only featured about three times, maybe he has truly run out of takers?
Counting down the weeks…
On the upside, Mad As Hell starts next month.
