Episode 26-4 Buddy Cops with Hammock from KVGM!
He's the bad boy of video games, and he's the musician who plays by the rules. Together they are fighting crime! I mean, they are listening to great music with their friend Hammock! (KVGM, The Last Wave) We're listening to music that could be in a "buddy-cop" movie/television series. And IT RULES! Let the music put you into the movie theater, watching two cops work together. Despite their differences, they both want justice! Heck, why would you just listen to the music, when you can listen to cold-reads Rob's first screen-play: Pernell and Poochie: Crime Fighting Buddies for Life! Hammock is the host of KVGM The Last Wave, the absolute chillest and most smoothest podcast ever created for the internet.
