TITANTALK 085: "Youth Patrol" Is Up!

 
"I’m starting to think that the world’s always going to need rescuing. But you gotta wonder…I mean, you’re out there saving the planet, who the fuck is rescuing you?"
"You are so high right now."
"I’m pretty lit, yeah."
-- Crazy Jane and Vic Stone, Doom Patrol: "Youth Patrol"
