Going to drop this here for anybody who didn’t catch it when it was just a link because it rules. Pretty much the only “self-filmed” part that has stood out to merit many repeat viewings in a pandemic full of ’em ❤️
Freddy link is busted, goes to some weird rob brink site thatās non functioning… wasnāt that story told in an epicly laterd? Or am I tripping…
The monk-rescue story is in Fred’s interview on The Bunt at about the 33 and half minute mark, but I feel like that’s not the first time I heard it. Could have been in his Epicly Later’d too. Not sure.
Weird, it worked yesterday. Brink wrote the original article, which appeared on the ESPN site in 2012 along Fredās āReal Streetā part. Found the original ESPN link after some more digging, so it should work.
You just hafta meet him someday at face value ĀÆ\_(ć)_/ĀÆ maybe letās sk8 later. if snack sleeps. Still best best bs pop shovit I seen, Iāll dream. If Fred flintstone still believes.
