  • Yikes!

    I have tried. I mean REALLY tried to like this podcast. I’ve listened for the last 2-3 months and I just can’t do it any more. The scratchy, irritating voice of George is too tough to listen to. And put that on top of the juvenile banter; it’s practically unbearable. Tyler’s humor is the only thing redeemable about this show.

  • A nostalgic gem!

    I spent my 20s in the Lehigh Valley before moving south. It reminds me of all the things I love about the area and excited to visit again! Plus, the guys are super funny and wonderful to chat with!

  • Funny discovery

    Somehow I happened upon your Instagram account (I think it was related to the Martin Tower parachuter lol) and I was excited to hear that you had a podcast! I love hearing funny local stories and I enjoy the 30 minute length of your podcasts because I have a shorter commute and it won’t take several days to listen to a whole episode. Thank you!!!!
