  • Not one of those podcasts, it’s got bangs

    I fwickin love this pod. The way they can talk about some absolutely horrible stuff and still laugh is amazing! The amount of catch phrases I have now picked up is unhealthy. Shout out to “gas light, gate keep, girl boss” for still being stuck in my head. If you want find joy today, give this pod a listen and finger guns to glizzy and glevin.
