Full of YES!! I could Midwestern, 80’s & 90’s nostalgia dork out with the Bayers - until they bring back Jolt Cola.
I love Vanessa and I love Jonah but this podcast is so dull. A lot of monotone and unenthusiastic. Bummed.
Once you realize how much they say “yeah” it becomes unlistenable. yeah, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH
