Who Is with Ross Oteri

This final episode of Who Is With Ross Oteri is kind of hard to describe. Ross and Maydha started this episode with 3 guests lined up, only to find… some more unexpected ones. On today’s episode, we’ve got an emo musician, an international rapper, a clairvoyant visionary, an escaped prisoner, a bird person, and someone who can really only be described as a “Margaret”. Nobody really knows what’s going on. It’s an overstimulating mess for Ross and Maydha.Anyway, thanks for watching.
