  • So good!

    I put off listening to this show because I didn’t understand what it was. Do yourself a favor and listen now! I did not realize how much was improv until season 5. Holy guacamole this team is talented. Please bring us more seasons on into infinity.

  • Never thought I would be into this kind of show. The call-ins are a lot more hit than miss, but what really keeps me coming back is the drip feed of little peeks into Josie's personal life.

  • So good

    This show is hilarious (often in a dry way) and clever. The first season was alright. I think it acted so more like character development. But second season and on has been absolutely hilarious. I’m constantly cackling.

  • Frank and Josie are hot!

    Hilarious, sexy, and full of top notch bone headed innuendo. The improvised calls are good, but what keeps me coming back is the scripted drama, gags, and the will they/won’t they. Can’t wait for more.
