  • Effortlessly hilarious

    I discovered this podcast through Drag Race Recap and it has become my new favorite comedy show. Joe, Lauri and Jay are able to turn their mundane experiences and family drama into hysterical stories. Their disagreements and bickering amongst each other is what sets them apart from other friend podcasts and creates comedy gold!

  • Lauri Nutritionkamp

    I’ve never laughed harder then when Lauri no “e” Nutritionkamp talks about anything. Maybe it’s because I also want Everyone to die in a fire. Except Jay. I want to make sweet love to him. Joe’s cool.

  • The Tea is Hot Mama!

    No one comes close to Lauri Roggenkamp! I normally listen to Genius Parade or Fat Camp, but was introduced to The Tea. Joe’s comedic timing is unpredictable and hilarious, and Jay is an amazing addition who helps add balance between Lauri and Joe. I love all of the Afterthought shows, but specifically when Lauri are on them because she makes it hilarious! Joe’s soundboard deserves Best Supporting Role 😂.

  • Hilarious

    The Joe/ Lauri combo is my favorite and Jay fits in perfectly. Took the recommendation from Drag Race Recap to listen to this show and I am so glad that I did. This has to be one of the best podcasts I’ve listened to in a long time. Keep up the good work Afterthought.

  • One of my favorite new podcasts

    Has the feel of just a good roundtable chat/hot topic talk show. One of the best developed from Afterthought Media. Great growth for post RPDR as I think many initial/veteran dare I say older viewers of the show move on to more casual consumers of that show but want to still engage with those who recap it - this will scratch that itch but allow you to skip it and recaps but enjoy those hosts in other formats.
