  • Brilliant spin-off

    The News sister show is great (on the basis of the first episode). Yes, it’s good two guys making each other laugh (as that is The First Law of Podcasts), but the premise is really good.

    I learned about Cody from the hilarious billionaire baby sitter skits on TikTok. I enjoy listening to this podcast on my short commute to work to get his humorous take on UK/US politics.
