  • Deeply smart comedy

    I came on casually and when I realised they are basically fighting for their lives, I became a supporter. Super smart comedy, absurd and funny if you have a passing relationship with religiosity and/or misogynistic social roles, way more deeply hilarious when you realise they are actually married IRL. You guys are amazing, thanks for the LOLS.

  • Testify!

    I had actually never heard of this Jesus fellow before stumbling across this podcast. These two have saved me from a life of eternal damnation and I can’t wait to visit the new water park at Twin Hills this summer. We will be moving to Indiana this summer and I just can’t wait for my kids to get a little older so they can come to CLIMAX with Grey. Praise him!
