United States3 years ago - Identical hosts
3 guys who look exactly the same. Is it even possible for them to get any diversity in opinion. I haven’t listened yet , I am making superficial judgments - but couldn’t help it. May be a better idea to do a show about Ned Kelly.

So for like 10 episodes I thought every time y’all said Birdemic, you were talking about Bird Box.
Cuz it’s like a pandemic with birds in the title.
And I laughed to myself every time bc I was like that’s clever and kinda dumb cuz birds are in that for like 10 seconds. It was like my favorite recurring bit.
Anyway, I’m Steph and I’m a douche and I love this podcast.
Apple Podcasts5-/ellehelle\-United States3 years ago Amazing podcast! Love the vibe and the hosts are great as well!

Every episode cracks me up, great hosts and keep the guest hosts coming. Please don’t change a thing, everything works!!!
