Good day listeners! It may be a little late, and a little short (because we broke it up into two parts), but we are proud to present the VGL Awards for 2023! Next week we'll have part 2 out. As you'll hear in the show, Rage was recovering from illness so he sounds a little less sultry than usual. We hope you enjoy the show, and we look forward to releasing the fun stuff that's at the bottom of the list next week!
