  • The two J’s

    I love the research that James and his team do on the background of the country/state/town and general background of the area and demographics. It is most informative and funny. And love the way both comedians work off each other’s energy. Saw them live in 2025 after 10 years of the podcast and they delivered. Keep doing what you guys do.
