Nathan: I’m on the cusp. Should I go for it?

4:03
Brad Johnson: I’m generally pro always going for it. But then sometimes I don’t follow my own advice.

4:03
Al Gone Quinn: So you think a $7 Jasson Dominguez is too expensive, based on your Discord forum comment? The man has 2 S’s in his name. Worth the money.
