2 years ago my mortal nemesis and I were feuding like we always are and out of nowhere he recommended this podcast. 2 years later and I have listened to every episode. I had seen all of Mikes’s standup and have really enjoyed this podcast. It introducing me to Chris Fleming and I cannot thank it enough for that.
