Do they sometimes find connections between the words? Yes, they sometimes do. Adal, Brett, and Rob have each, at some point in their lives, been described as funny.

Reviews

4.8 out of 5 stars from 245 ratings
  • I could do without the opening improv scenes, but once that ends and the group gets into their natural banter the show takes off. It's an entertaining listen and keeps me smiling with occasional "laugh out loud" moments.

  • It’s ok

    I started listening to this because it was recommended on one of Adal’s other shows, Hey Riddle Riddle. If you like this show, you’ll definitely love that, but this one is ok too

  • Word up.

    Adal is one of my favorite podcasters, Brett alternately drives me insane and makes sense depending on the topic, and Rob’s chill demeanor makes this a real chill hang.

  • Calming

    Soothes my similarly damaged brain and makes more sense to me than l would like to admit. Side note: please consider making a monthly episode where you guys watch one of Rob’s obscure movies and talk about it.

    PS- I remember Superman ice cream! I grew up in Dallas. I don’t remember where I got it but it was somewhere in the mall.
