The Retro Rents -- EP075 -- That Delicate Dance

What is going on Y'ALL!! It has been quite some time (again) since our last show, and for that I truly apologize, but as you'll see during the show, it's been pretty crazy here in RetroRentsAL land! However, there is some AWESOME news as well! (Like ya boys Al and Nick being on a panel at LockdownCon 2 this year baby!). Lots more to cover as well, so we invite y'all to sit back, kick back with a good drink of your choice, and chill with us on another episode of The Retro Rents!
