Rural Concerns

The parents race, virtual reality & big old weird balls

Is it wrong for a man to fill a machine with his love? This is the existential question facing Sunil as he dons an Oculus Rift in pursuit of digital pleasure. When Producer James steps out for but a moment, Chris shares another of his long running feuds. What a stupid life this man leads. The lads also receive their first letter from Pudding, the Rural Concerns goat!
