  • Beep beep hahahahah

    Sometimes people listen to podcasts while they drive. Having a blaring car horn sound randomly fire off throughout the episode can be scary as hell.

    Now they’ve replaced some, not all, of the horn sounds with a ‘beep beep’ mocking everyone who complained.

    I don’t know why the car horn is the 4th member of their podcast and I don’t know why they’re so protective of it. Listen to feedback and respect your listeners. Your defensiveness over the sound is weird. You just picked it from a list. Pick... more

  • A comedy podcast that is actually funny

    The market and my app is full of various podcasts but this is a non-negotiable for me.

    Chris, James, and Mike have amazing chemistry with each other and the rotating cast of guests and co-hosts slot right in without missing a beat.

    Jump in on a subject that takes your interest or go back to episode 1 and binge it like I have (multiple times). You can’t go wrong.

    The patreon is well worth your money too!

  • What’s not to love?

    Evil Men is so much more than a podcast. James, Chris, and Mike are real, long-time friends, and their chemistry is palpable in every story, every joke, and every song.

    Evil men are a dark topic, a lot of crimes are discussed here, but the hosts discuss even the most heinous of actions with respect to victims and disdain for cruelty. The hosts have a unique ability, they can handle these atrocities with genuine compassion and balance that with humour.

    Through these explorations in morality, the ... more
