  • Too Internet :( my friend told me it wouldn’t be internet

    My friend told me to listen because he thought they were carefree and easy, but they are just repeating TikTok & twitter and pretending they are simpletons. I recommend listening to “ it’s a beautiful day in the gulch” podcast if you want genuine heartfelt, unironic, heartfelt humor and joy

  • Holy…

    I used to listen to podcasts that could all basically be called sad tactics. I started listening to JT and I must say it has absolutely changed my life. My money is up, my health is up, my happiness is up. My life is basically the best it has ever been and I can say it’s due to only paying attention to all things joyful. THANK YOU!!!
