Terrible case of the sniffles
I really enjoy the random information I get from this “educational” podcast, but I love the laughs even more from the side quests. As a mom, I also appreciate that I could safely introduce this to my young teenager. He’s laughing along with me now!
I tried listening to one episode 25 minutes in of a 55 minute show not a hint of what the episode title claims to be. All these fool podcasts that think they are so fun and clever…often are not. I get maybe just yucking it up for the devotees is probably good enough.
I have been listening for quite a few years now, and this show has been consistently hilarious and informative! I love when they go on side tangents; it’s always unhinged and unpredictable (like that one time when Tim was flirting with an AI police officer). Also, would love to see more voicemail videos if possible! Thank ya’ll for a great weekly show!
