As a Beyond native, I am smiles for miles right now. This was the result I wanted. Where it goes from here? I don’t know but Dave Cole is back and it’s more than just a one-off. Let’s goooooooooo!
BUT LET’S ALSO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO EVERYONE ELSE ON THIS SHOW WHO I HAVE MISSED SEEING IN MY HOME PROMOTION FOR THE LAST FEW YEARS. EVERYONE worked their a**es off today and, the problematic shouting people aside, this was a fun watch from Beyond....but I can’t wait to hear Crockett & Bakabella in my ear holes, especially when it’s time to talk about the return story of Dave Cole. Until then!
