WEEK 9 RED ZONE WATCH ALONG!!!!

WE’RE BACK AGAIN for Week 9 Redzone. If you’re looking to hang with someone when Week 9 kicks off, you can do it with me, Cust, and Friends live from MMN HQ.

We’ll be streaming RedZone and talking along over the RZ stream on Playback. Playback has the rights to RedZone, and we’ll be doing commentary while we all watch it together in perfect sync. It’ll be on YouTube as well, but we don’t have the rights to stream RedZone there, so it will just be us talking in the room. Still a good time btw.
