Pops & Shots Podcast
Pops & Shots Podcast is made up of Gabriel O’Balle & Tom Cruz. And while our primary goal is to talk sports while we drink, what ends up happening is usually far beyond our control. From movies, music, celebrity news, wrestling and current events - if it "pops" in our head it’s gonna get talked about. Shots are always in order whether they're at sports figures, each other, or out of a glass, we're taking them. Drink before listening, we sound better. https://linktr.ee/Popsandshotspodcast
