Back Blast – Extender @ The Mutt – 03/21/2019

Zima said it best in his pre-blast – when you mix Jolly Rancher and Zima together it’s almost better than PB&J.  What a fantastic mash-up — it’s like it was meant to be.  Or, perhaps it was just a ploy by Zima to make sure he didn’t show up to Q a workout by himselfContinueContinue reading “Back Blast – Extender @ The Mutt – 03/21/2019”
