    Did it for the money…you’ve got to be kidding? They used their shotgun as an eraser. 16 times. I worked for Jose was a total jerk. If you don’t believe it, just ask the boys from Menudo that Jose was fondle of.

  • I liked the logo and now love the show

    I was desperate for a new podcast to listen to throughout my day, I saw the logo and the name and thought it was witty and decided to zoom backward to the first episode. I’m not yet caught (somewhere in 2024 I think) up but I have enjoyed every episode so far. The artwork for each episode is fantastic and the topics are wonderful and I know I will be sad when I get caught up and have to wait for new episodes 😂. These two are totally worth a listen!
