    I love this podcast! Andrew is funny and ask great questions. The guests are totally random but it seems like everyone has an interesting story to share. It’s a really refreshing glimpse of society. Long live PBO.

  • One of the best podcasts I’ve heard in a long time!

    This podcast is so good. The comedic chemistry between Cole and Andrew is so refreshing and each guest who is enticed by the $1 payment brings a real and unique twist to the episode. I’m a new listener but I already know that I am going to listen to each episode that is available because missing a single one would be considered sacrilegious.

  • All time favorite podcast

    I learned about this show from MFM years ago and it immediately became my favorite podcast! I absolutely LOVE the interviews with strangers; you get to hear so many stories from so many different perspectives. The hosts are unbiased and genuinely want to hear from anyone and everyone, and they’re so funny.

    Sad that Cole is leaving, but I can’t wait to see who becomes Andrew’s new co-host. 🤘🔥❤️
