One of my fave locations in my Compliment or Insult series is the Bar Edition. So for Round 2, we’re back at the scene of the first crime, Escobar in Aspen.

Aside from the occasional creeper just staring at me throughout my entire workout, nothing of note has happened, no more Gym Gems or Compliment or Insults. How boooooring,…
