    Discovered this absolute gem about 2 months ago and loving it more each episode. Just listened to the Bonnie and Clyde episode and spurred me on to rate it, firstly because they mention getting a 1* review in it, secondly because Matt’s impression of a English Turkey is just incredible and thirdly, I love Jess’s hate filled comments paired with her adorable laugh. Waiting for a UK tour now please.

  • Horrible

    Just get to the story- this is annoying and they never actually tell the story. It’s just them laughing about their own inside jokes. Not entertaining and rather annoying
