Crowd work

Look, we cannot keep pretending that just because you can post another 20-30-40 minutes of crowd work to YouTube, that each of these things counts as a special. April saw “new” crowd work specials drop on YouTube from Adam Ray, Jeremiah Watkins, Jeff Garcia, and multiple drops from Jay Reid, Martin Amini, and the latest monthly drop from Nate Jackson.
