  • 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!

    Through these explorations in morality, the ... more
