  • O-H!

    I love the content and dark humor. I love the pod even more knowing you guys are from the Cleveland area. I moved down to Charlotte, NC five years ago and I feel a little connected to home every time I listen to you guys. Cleveland is a disaster of its own so I guess it makes sense 🤷‍♂️

    Anyway, thanks for the show!
