I have never sprinted to the review section faster. THANK YOU CHAD for speaking up about one of the ABUNDANT horrifying crimes against humanity that Trump is actively committing. I am disappointed in Kelsey’s meek quiet dismissive attitude to his passion on the topic of child predators. I’m sure she’s concerned with backlash, but there has to be a line and making your morals and ethics known is becoming the bare minimum for who we consume media from.
This is the second best podcast featuring a comedy couple.
I love Chad’s fake anger it’s my favorite
I love Chad and decided to listen. I think they have incredible insight all while being funny too. Great listen.
I’ve been a Chad fan for YEARS, he’s one of my favorite comedians of all time! Learned through TikTok about Kelsey and she is one of my fiancées favorite comedians and we learned together that yall were dating and we SPRINTED to this podcast and so glad we have found this! Thank you both for what you do and always providing a great laugh when it’s needed most!
