- Moving to LA? Listen here!
I love these guys - their passion for history, fact-checking, and their love for LA/CA. Anyone who doesn’t find them funny needs to check in to the hospital (no insurance needed) for Joy deficiency. YOU GUYS ROCK!

There is something undeniably relatable about these guys if you were born and live in LA. If you aren’t from LA, listen to these guys to get a local’s perspective on it! It’s very niche and entertaining (and this is coming from someone who isn’t even a Star Wars fan).

Apple Podcasts5JustbattyUnited States7 months ago - Just ok for me
