  • Best British Comedian Hosted, NOFX Based Podcast!

    But seriously, it’s great. Like any podcast, you click for the subject matter but stay because you fall in love with the hosts.

    Not only are they extremely knowledgeable about NOFX, they’re quick-witted, friendly, and very interesting to listen to. Instantly welcomed into the ole mental comfort zone. They’re constantly voicing thoughts and sentiments I myself have had about NOFX but never had friends nerdy enough to actually discuss. I love Coaster too Red!

    Their jokes generally land with me,... more
