Canonically, I feel that the bandit challenges should be completed as Arthur as soon as possible. Since it lowers your honor so much, you have time to “redeem” yourself in the later chapters of the game.
@@leotheskyguy it’s grindy, but go catch all the fish and release them. Greet everyone you can nicely. You’re past the point of doing a lot of side missions and stranger missions (unless you saved them for John) with good honor. I believe that’s also affected by a checkpoint in the story. Once you are diagnosed with TB as Arthur, your honor gain/loss is higher than it was previously.
Just a pro-tip for anyone else who wants to try this, you should do the Hosea hunting mission early on so you can hunt the legendary buck and get a trinket that improves pelt quality.
The trinket doesn't work the way we thought it does. The trinket only improves your chance of not messing up your pelt when you kill the animal, it doesn't affect the spawn rate of 3 star pelts. But I still agree about getting it early.
@@EnderVoid_ You're probably right. I watched a video that had the same explanation as me and I did some in-game testing and the theory makes sense. Im too lazy to confirm it tho
I think it's helps your chance for perfect pelts to remain perfect. Never had any pelt upgrade a star but you also have to use the proper weapon to kill it
@@AnekoF90 they could’ve designed herbalist 9 without the need for the 4 NA exclusive plants. They didn’t include Thoroughbred’s in Horseman 10. People just want to be able to earn LOTE outfit at Arthur, since John got Legend of the West outfit in RDR1.
I did this challenge mostly as Arthur, as much of it as possible, but I only went to the extent that the game allowed me to. Hats off to you brother. I’m impressed lol
Pro tip: You can do herbalist 9 very easily while doing "Who is Not without Sin" misson. in that mission you have to take drunk Reverend Swanson to camp. instead of going to camp you can keep him in horseback and go anywhere in new Austin and the sniper won't shoot. if you already done this mission, you can replay it and complete herbalist 9
this way doesn't work anymore. once u move quite a distance away, they will trigger saying u are out of mission area. u move further and u will fail the mission. I found the only way left is the buggy, still works but difficult. Need many tries to get what you need for the challenges.
Tip for anyone wanting to do the challenges requiring going to Lower West Elizabeth: if you have a hogtied bounty on the back of your horse, the wanted level won't trigger and you can roam freely. You'll still be sniped by God if you try to cross to Thieves Landing, but you can explore the area (minus Blackwater because of the Wanted area) with no issues.
As much as it bothers me to be so close to the outfit with Arthur, I just don't have the patience to screw around with wagons & animals & whatnot, so I definitely have to tip my hat to you.
A trick I use when hunting predators such as the big cats, is to climb upon a boulder after setting out bait. Bears, wolves, gators, cats, all predators can't reach you if you're up on a boulder. So you can take your sweet time doing whatever you want while on that boulder since they can't reach you.
@@Trofees yeah, the struggle is there (especially the fking Zoologist cuz I hate Bronte glitch setup and I died because of random things deep into NA twice before getting all the animals*... I still have 1 to study n skin (fk you armadillo)
Bro literally your first video was the one that motivated me to go through them and get the platinum trophy, I’ve managed to get almost all of them done as Arthur in the beginning of chapter 3 except for horseman 8 and herbalist 8 which had to finish them as John, finished them literally two days ago, if only the video was two days earlier I would have got all of the challenges done as Arthur 😂 love the videos man, keep it up !!!
I just did Horseman 9 and 10 two days ago. Luckily you don’t have to go all the way to Blackwater for 9, and all the tame-able horses can be found in the early side of the map. The Hungarian Halfbreed is rare, but it spawns right outside the camp in that big open field with Tennessee Walkers and a Morgan. I spent way too long trying to get to one in Blackwater only to continually get slaughtered by Pinkertons. Although I did manage to get a Tennessee Walker over there by the skin of my teeth.
I can’t do horseman 9, I get to the spot within 10-15 minutes, don’t touch a single drop of water and it just doesn’t work for me. Don’t know what I’m doing wrong

Thank you for your clip on how to shoot 3 hats off in one dead-eye use. I finally got it. I'm on Herbalist 9 now and going into the prairie and then new Austin is going to be a brutal challenge.
@@Trofees Thank you! I've completed all the challenges except Bandit, Weapon Expert and Herbalist. I'm working away on these and will not be bested by 4-5 herbs in the Great Prairie and New Austin. I won't give up, lol. And you gained another subscriber. :)
i remember a year ago, i had done like ten or more complete playthroughs of the story and side missions, but never got 100% completion, so i made a vow to get as close to 100% as i could as arthur. I got to 78.5%, and i had all the challenges done, all the collectibles done (except for the New Austin bone locations, the glitch i used to get in new austin for the herbalist challenges wasnt reliable enough to get the bone locations), and pretty much all of the other stuff done aside from the arthur grave location and the rest of the main story missions. then, as john i did the rest of the bone locations, did all the new austin random encounters (not necessary for completion but i did it anyway) and made sure the last thing i did was inspect arthur’s grave, so the transition between the 100% scene was seamless. anyways long story short yeah a few of those challenges are really difficult to do as arthur lol.
if you're aiming for 100% - for the cards, instead of searching for them, you can just buy premium tobacco over and over again. i spent around $1600 to complete all the sets.
There is a glitch in the misson “angilo bronte, a man of honor” that lets you leave to Austin close to the end of the mission after you drop of john at angilo bronte’s mansion without worrying about the sniper, UNFORTUNATELY… it’s in chapter 4! not 2…
I shall offer the following advice for the Herbalist challenges before the Exotics side-missions. Do not pick any orchids before Herbalist 9. If you pick too many of any given type of orchid, the game will despawn that type to leave you at least one to collect during the Exotics missions. The Acuna Star orchid is particularly bad for this, because if you pick just two, the rest with vanish until the Exotic mission that will require you to pick the third and final Acuna Star. And you cannot discard or sell any orchids in your inventory in order to get out of such a situation. So to be completely safe, don't pick any orchids until you're doing Herbalist 9. Happy herbalising people.
@@martinerkelens5807 yeah google might help you a lot. Completing all 90 challenges are meant to be impossible while playing as Arthur. I explained it in the first 30 seconds of the video.
you can do weapons expert 10 by attracting the grizzly to a place full of cut trees (there's a dot in the map nearby that pile of trees). move to the middle of the trees and somehow the bear can't follow you but still be trying to get you. Very easy to point your knifes to the bear's head without being bothered (attacked and eaten) by him There's also a trick to get pass quickly in the survivalist scavenger challenge: use bait, predator or herbivorous, and shoot the poor animals trying to eat the bait: it counts as scavenging, what can I say? I use the same strategy in bandit challenge (10) you don't need to rob no npc as they can call the law. Just keep doing the same train lanes and always go to the back of the train and steal a can of fruits or whatever, open chest with a potion there you grab and you can complete the challenge much faster, not alerting the law, and ofc not losing an inch of honor. priceless.
I’ve set this arbitrary bar for myself, too. *Arthur* is the Legend of the East, that outfit belongs to him. I was able to get one of the New Austin flowers, but i need to get the last one, the one that’s much deeper in NA. One flower stands between me and my Prize. I heard you can just go to NA after the mission in the San Denis cemetery. Just go to NA before hitting the end objective.
You need to get drunk to glitch outside the map first. When you get to new Austin, set up a campfire, save your game in case you die, then leave the campfire and run for a second and set up a new campfire. Keep repeating this until you get to the herb you want to pick. For some reason you have a couple seconds of invincibility and can pick the herb. It doesn’t work every time, but that’s why you save so you can keep trying.
The randome encounter with the guy getting kicked by his own horse is a good way to get a better horse in the early game, if you want to make it your main horse before you unlocked the stables you just gotta kill the starter horse and you can transfer the saddle like that
Arthur Morgan edit be like" I like the way you kiss me I can tell you miss me I can tell you this this this this this this this this this this this this
I got caught up watching 4 of your videos when only came to watch 1 on purpose not many TH-camrs get me watching videos just to watch them so you earned my like and subscription
The Weapons Expert 6 took my soul. I kept only getting 3 kills instead of 4, and then it got to the point where the Van Horn Saloon was closed and wasn't opening up.
This is awesome, thank you. Only thing I did differently was to do the Explorer Challenges first. That loads you up with so many gold bars you're pretty much set money-wise for the game.
I actually did this on my second playthrough and got Arthur the outfit that he deserves with a glitch that allowed Arthur to go to New Austin back when the game launched. I got John the outfit on my first playthrough but I like Arthur better than John so I searched the interwebs to find a way to get it for Arthur.
You can actually rob the same train 5 times for the challenge. I hopped on a train that stopped in Emerald Ranch, stole an apple that was sitting on a barrel, then fled on horse as the guards noticed me outside of the boundary of emerald ranch. I then realized the train was staying put due to the commotion, and tested to see if I could do the same thing again, and sure enough it worked. All you have to do is take one little item sitting on the barrels or boxes, or as you say open the cabinets, and then flee outside of the Emerald border, then repeat.
Mounted enemies can be found on bounty missions early on. I’ll also leave one alive on the first st Denis bounty for dragging him with lasso when they try to steal your bounty. Don’t take him into town tho just drag him around the swamp and you won’t get a bounty. The predators from horseback and varmint kills challenges at the same time when you see a flock of crows in several spots on the map. There are two different spots for the final treasure map and most of the time can be found between 9-12 in the morning. Just ride back and forth between the two spots til he spawns or sleep/reload. Gambler blackjack challenges there are a specific seat at the table if you watch the dealer will deal specifically to one spot. Most of the time it’s the 1st(left of the dealer), 3rd, or last. Start or end gambler challenges in van horn as sometimes you can knockout 2 challenges there. Also rob 5 people in van horn to avoid bounties on the north end of town there’s two men that spawn one in the alley and one leaning against the barn. Ride to the stable to respawn, save, repeat. If any of that helps.
For anyone still doing this I have some better advice. For gambler 8 the only time you should be quitting is if you have 19 or higher and it’s literally impossible to hit 3 times. In this games version of blackjack the cards that come out are completely random. You have the same odds of starting with 5 and hitting 3 times that you do starting with 18 and getting 3 aces. So follow his method but only quit out if you have 19 or more. And I’m not sure if he mentioned this but you can also quit and skip the other persons turn when you go bust
So as someone who did Van Horn to Blackwater with Arthur without that trick (you need to cross the dam to the west, kill the first wave of pinkertons with deadeye and gun it before the second one spawns), I am incredibly mad that apparently, my 15+ attempts were almost entirely pointless. Oh and that long scoped rifle challenge was a nightmare-because I did it for the first time on the PS4 and in most situations, enemies don't spawn in that far away on the PS4.
I swear with gambler 8 I constantly got to a really good number like 11 at 2 hits and then ALWAYS WOULD GET A PICTURE CARD OR A 10. The worst one is when you have 5 but it's a really small number, and if you hit you risk a bust and if you don't you probably lose to the dealer.
I did a 100% run of the game awhile back and OMG I despised challenges so much. I legit quit trying herbalist as Arthur after spending so many hours trying the wagon method and just did it as John eventually. Gambler 8 was somehow not too bad as I got lucky and won 2 hands of blackjack in a row, I did the math and it was a 1 in 10,000 chance lmao. But to compensate gambler 9 was SO HARD. I spent so many irl days just trying it on Emerald Station and a couple other places just to loose at my last round so many times. Then I saw a dude trying it in Saint Denis after not playing for a couple weeks, so I went there and got that done in like 10 mins and felt so stupid about it. Yeah dude, I feel ur pain. I think those challenges are right up in the "unnecessarily hard" category along with getting a bunch of perfect rare birds to do those hunting requests and completing the compendium.
The run from Van Horn to Blackwater (actually in to blackwater, south from crossing at the dam) is absoloutley possible as Arthur, provded you carry enough potent health cures and potent horse medicine! It's gnarly, but I've managed to do it on my last 2 playthroughs. I also head back accross the river near the hungarian halfbreds and chase some across near fort riggs for the next challenge! (I've seen them spawn randomly all over the map, but never during horseman 10)
The sad thing about herbalist 9 is, if you're playing on the original patch when the game came out - the invisible sniper didn't work right. It was so much easier to everything as Arthur and explore around. I don't remember it working right until the very first time they put out a patch for the game. And even then there was a stagecoach bug in Armadillo (if you managed to get into the city there was a wall by the stagecoach guy). By the clicking the stagecoach behind the wall, it would disable the sniper most of the time. Even if it didn't - they hadn't messed with the spawns in New Austin yet, so you would just respawn in the Armadillo lol. Super fun though, you just had to watch out for roaming sheriffs (big red dots on the map) once you got past Blackwater.
I just beat rdr2 like 2 days ago and recently started rdr1. Love this video so far man! I never knew about these glitches as arthur but it makes me really wanna replay and actually do the challenges lol. good job!
For herbalist maybe can do it when saving Jack, in the middle of the mission, let John going to hatch his horse, and you can ride with your horse up to Thumbleweed without sniper, but don't get killed otherwise you lose whatever you get.. its time consuming but.. worth it with Arthur
The buggy, i remember the hours spent, blood spilled, time wasted with just one misclick, one wrong angle, then a whole hour wasted only to reapeat it.
I got the white arabian as arthur as soon as it was available, just calm it, get on, hold back on the joystick to not be bucked. It worked surprisingly well for me having near base stamina
11:45 oh you can stop at that little peninsula across from Blackwater?? i used to push all the way west and cross the bridge at Lake Owwnjila to get this done 😭 with the mahogany bay tennessee saddler
Canonically, I feel that the bandit challenges should be completed as Arthur as soon as possible. Since it lowers your honor so much, you have time to “redeem” yourself in the later chapters of the game.
I just did them all as John since I stopped caring much about honor when I started the epilogue.
I did them as John and I STILL can’t get my honour back up. Any ideas?
@@leotheskyguy it’s grindy, but go catch all the fish and release them. Greet everyone you can nicely.

You should be able to get them. I was able to get Otis millers revolver. @@RodrigoS455
Bandit 5 can be completed without getting the full bounty. If you have it open to do when you break Micah out of jail, it counts.
horseman 9 was clever thanks buddy
I like your video because you’re funny, yet not so annoying I want to pull off my own head
Thanks man!
I shall offer the following advice for the Herbalist challenges before the Exotics side-missions. Do not pick any orchids before Herbalist 9.
If you pick too many of any given type of orchid, the game will despawn that type to leave you at least one to collect during the Exotics missions. The Acuna Star orchid is particularly bad for this, because if you pick just two, the rest with vanish until the Exotic mission that will require you to pick the third and final Acuna Star. And you cannot discard or sell any orchids in your inventory in order to get out of such a situation.
So to be completely safe, don't pick any orchids until you're doing Herbalist 9.
Happy herbalising people.
Welcome to the club. Herbalist 9 nearly broke my sanity across 2 days using the Saint Denis buggy method, but man was it worth it. Way to go!🎉

"As Arthur"
I wasn't aware I could play as someone else.
Google here I come
@@martinerkelens5807 yeah google might help you a lot. Completing all 90 challenges are meant to be impossible while playing as Arthur. I explained it in the first 30 seconds of the video.
i think they meant they didn't know they could play as John
I wonder
@eternalv0id_ I did, wasn't progressed far enough.
Thanks for not spoiling ^^
you can do weapons expert 10 by attracting the grizzly to a place full of cut trees (there's a dot in the map nearby that pile of trees). move to the middle of the trees and somehow the bear can't follow you but still be trying to get you. Very easy to point your knifes to the bear's head without being bothered (attacked and eaten) by him
There's also a trick to get pass quickly in the survivalist scavenger challenge: use bait, predator or herbivorous, and shoot the poor animals trying to eat the bait: it counts as scavenging, what can I say?
I use the same strategy in bandit challenge (10) you don't need to rob no npc as they can call the law. Just keep doing the same train lanes and always go to the back of the train and steal a can of fruits or whatever, open chest with a potion there you grab and you can complete the challenge much faster, not alerting the law, and ofc not losing an inch of honor. priceless.
I’ve been watching your videos a few days ago and they are amazing love your videos!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
@@corywilliams6923 thanks so much 😁
I did everything as Arthur until I quit because of Herbalist 9, I WISH I saw your video before completing the Arthur storyline.
The white Arabian was my horse as arthur for the entire game after chapter 1 but you know how it ended
@@Algo2-2-3 sucks to lose it
That wagon idea was genius😂
0:49 look at Cumberland forest💀
Barely visible
At 15:12, when you said "And this happened", i immediately got an ad. The perfect timing on that.
@@zossieurs 😎
all that was left was the master baiter challenge
I’ve set this arbitrary bar for myself, too. *Arthur* is the Legend of the East, that outfit belongs to him. I was able to get one of the New Austin flowers, but i need to get the last one, the one that’s much deeper in NA. One flower stands between me and my Prize. I heard you can just go to NA after the mission in the San Denis cemetery. Just go to NA before hitting the end objective.
Are you seriously telling me at 12:17 for horseman 9 you can just ride here instead of trying to go into Blackwater as Arthur?
@@NedoFinlay yes 😁
@@Trofees Fml bro
Instead of TB, Arthur dies of lung cancer from all the cigarettes he's smoked trying to get all those cards
I’ve been stuck on herb 9 for forever😢😢😢
edit:if anyone can go more in depth with the campfire save scumming that would be awesome
You need to get drunk to glitch outside the map first. When you get to new Austin, set up a campfire, save your game in case you die, then leave the campfire and run for a second and set up a new campfire. Keep repeating this until you get to the herb you want to pick. For some reason you have a couple seconds of invincibility and can pick the herb. It doesn’t work every time, but that’s why you save so you can keep trying.
@@Trofees Thanks I’ll prob try it later today
Trust me, the Jimbatron wagon method is way better
@@BLET_55artem55 Ive been trying that and I e had no luck so I’m trying this rn
@@BLET_55artem55 idk what the Jimbatron wagon is 😂
The randome encounter with the guy getting kicked by his own horse is a good way to get a better horse in the early game, if you want to make it your main horse before you unlocked the stables you just gotta kill the starter horse and you can transfer the saddle like that
1:05 where is this gold bar??

I got caught up watching 4 of your videos when only came to watch 1 on purpose not many TH-camrs get me watching videos just to watch them so you earned my like and subscription
@@xXSTREETMONEY5Xx thank you so much 😊
Let's go without the reactions please
What?
i have no idea how i havent done nor watched this video before! so high quality!!
The Weapons Expert 6 took my soul. I kept only getting 3 kills instead of 4, and then it got to the point where the Van Horn Saloon was closed and wasn't opening up.
I just got back RDR2 and these videos are super entertaining and helpful. I love the format
@@doublecupz hey glad you like them
You’re a master hunter, but I am the master baiter 🎣
This is awesome, thank you. Only thing I did differently was to do the Explorer Challenges first. That loads you up with so many gold bars you're pretty much set money-wise for the game.
I actually did this on my second playthrough and got Arthur the outfit that he deserves with a glitch that allowed Arthur to go to New Austin back when the game launched. I got John the outfit on my first playthrough but I like Arthur better than John so I searched the interwebs to find a way to get it for Arthur.
You can actually rob the same train 5 times for the challenge. I hopped on a train that stopped in Emerald Ranch, stole an apple that was sitting on a barrel, then fled on horse as the guards noticed me outside of the boundary of emerald ranch. I then realized the train was staying put due to the commotion, and tested to see if I could do the same thing again, and sure enough it worked.
All you have to do is take one little item sitting on the barrels or boxes, or as you say open the cabinets, and then flee outside of the Emerald border, then repeat.
Nice 😁
Mounted enemies can be found on bounty missions early on. I’ll also leave one alive on the first st Denis bounty for dragging him with lasso when they try to steal your bounty. Don’t take him into town tho just drag him around the swamp and you won’t get a bounty. The predators from horseback and varmint kills challenges at the same time when you see a flock of crows in several spots on the map. There are two different spots for the final treasure map and most of the time can be found between 9-12 in the morning. Just ride back and forth between the two spots til he spawns or sleep/reload. Gambler blackjack challenges there are a specific seat at the table if you watch the dealer will deal specifically to one spot. Most of the time it’s the 1st(left of the dealer), 3rd, or last. Start or end gambler challenges in van horn as sometimes you can knockout 2 challenges there. Also rob 5 people in van horn to avoid bounties on the north end of town there’s two men that spawn one in the alley and one leaning against the barn. Ride to the stable to respawn, save, repeat. If any of that helps.
For anyone still doing this I have some better advice. For gambler 8 the only time you should be quitting is if you have 19 or higher and it’s literally impossible to hit 3 times. In this games version of blackjack the cards that come out are completely random. You have the same odds of starting with 5 and hitting 3 times that you do starting with 18 and getting 3 aces. So follow his method but only quit out if you have 19 or more. And I’m not sure if he mentioned this but you can also quit and skip the other persons turn when you go bust
So as someone who did Van Horn to Blackwater with Arthur without that trick (you need to cross the dam to the west, kill the first wave of pinkertons with deadeye and gun it before the second one spawns), I am incredibly mad that apparently, my 15+ attempts were almost entirely pointless.
Oh and that long scoped rifle challenge was a nightmare-because I did it for the first time on the PS4 and in most situations, enemies don't spawn in that far away on the PS4.
I swear with gambler 8 I constantly got to a really good number like 11 at 2 hits and then ALWAYS WOULD GET A PICTURE CARD OR A 10.
The worst one is when you have 5 but it's a really small number, and if you hit you risk a bust and if you don't you probably lose to the dealer.
I did a 100% run of the game awhile back and OMG I despised challenges so much. I legit quit trying herbalist as Arthur after spending so many hours trying the wagon method and just did it as John eventually. Gambler 8 was somehow not too bad as I got lucky and won 2 hands of blackjack in a row, I did the math and it was a 1 in 10,000 chance lmao. But to compensate gambler 9 was SO HARD. I spent so many irl days just trying it on Emerald Station and a couple other places just to loose at my last round so many times. Then I saw a dude trying it in Saint Denis after not playing for a couple weeks, so I went there and got that done in like 10 mins and felt so stupid about it. Yeah dude, I feel ur pain. I think those challenges are right up in the "unnecessarily hard" category along with getting a bunch of perfect rare birds to do those hunting requests and completing the compendium.
Satan:
"I love that sniper ... he doesn't send Arthur to Jesus."
Definitely one of the best videos I've watched about RDR2
Thank you friend
Glad you enjoyed it!
“I just need to visit my live target practice range. The Hanging Dog Ranch” 💀😭
This was a great video! Love the pacing, commentary and commitment to the cause. Massive props, sir. Subscribed.
@@bengolding1551 hey thanks so much!
The run from Van Horn to Blackwater (actually in to blackwater, south from crossing at the dam) is absoloutley possible as Arthur, provded you carry enough potent health cures and potent horse medicine! It's gnarly, but I've managed to do it on my last 2 playthroughs. I also head back accross the river near the hungarian halfbreds and chase some across near fort riggs for the next challenge! (I've seen them spawn randomly all over the map, but never during horseman 10)
The sad thing about herbalist 9 is, if you're playing on the original patch when the game came out - the invisible sniper didn't work right. It was so much easier to everything as Arthur and explore around. I don't remember it working right until the very first time they put out a patch for the game. And even then there was a stagecoach bug in Armadillo (if you managed to get into the city there was a wall by the stagecoach guy). By the clicking the stagecoach behind the wall, it would disable the sniper most of the time. Even if it didn't - they hadn't messed with the spawns in New Austin yet, so you would just respawn in the Armadillo lol.
Super fun though, you just had to watch out for roaming sheriffs (big red dots on the map) once you got past Blackwater.
😂😂😂 love the commentary on your video lol
tip: if you've got a varmint rifle, it doesn't matter where you shoot at the rabbit, it will still give you the perfect or good pelt quality
I just beat rdr2 like 2 days ago and recently started rdr1. Love this video so far man! I never knew about these glitches as arthur but it makes me really wanna replay and actually do the challenges lol. good job!
Glad you enjoyed!
Thank you for making such good content I am going to sub
I appreciate it!
For herbalist maybe can do it when saving Jack, in the middle of the mission, let John going to hatch his horse, and you can ride with your horse up to Thumbleweed without sniper, but don't get killed otherwise you lose whatever you get.. its time consuming but.. worth it with Arthur
The buggy, i remember the hours spent, blood spilled, time wasted with just one misclick, one wrong angle, then a whole hour wasted only to reapeat it.
Thoughts of giving up were overwhelming for me haha
I feel you broddha, but we couldn't skip on the chance of getting the LoE outfit with Arthur so we endured it 💪
#19 You pulled 2 Cosby's in a row on that horse..missing was move #2 and good for u for not mentioning
I got the white arabian as arthur as soon as it was available, just calm it, get on, hold back on the joystick to not be bucked. It worked surprisingly well for me having near base stamina
@@whrench2676 oh dang that's awesome
If you can figure it out it could be helpful for future challenges if you do any to just have a really good horse early on, hope you find success
25:56 “you sir, are a fish”
45 minutes of terrorizing Hanging Dog Ranch, Sadie Adler would approve.
