Just to be sure – is the 7pm in PST / Los Angeles time? 🙂
I guess that would be the middle of the night in Germany… 🥱

There will be replays too 💪
Yep 6:30 PM PST. See ya then! 🥂
I love that this is all happening!
You and me both! The Bundy Club is finally getting the recognition this family deserves. I mean, we put Polk High on the map, we survived the Dodge, and now we’ve got our own club. If that’s not the American dream, I don’t know what is. Glad you’re here for the ride!
After party at the Jiggly Room, Tang Wipes and Weenie Tots for all!
💯
So excited to be a part of this and ready for tons of raunchy, hilarious laughs and all the fun 🙌
Just rewatched episode one and was cracking up… I love how they could get away with that kind of humor back in the day 😂
Darren, David, and Brian have created such an incredible experience for you guys and I’m 100% in for the ride. Can’t wait to hear all the behind-the-scenes stories, welcome the first guest writer Richard German, and dive into the evolution of Grandmaster B.
Bring the funny 😆🔥
