“If you love music you will love R&R Confessional. It feels like CW must have music in his blood with the questions and responses he comes up with. Check it out. Now, do it now. Why are you still reading this. STOP! GO!”

“You’re doing a podcast - the only thing the audience receives is sound! Why in the heck would you guys wear masks? It sounds horrible and it’s completely insane! What are you protecting with a mask? The mics???
