    I had a friend recommend y’all’s podcast a few years back and I can’t get enough! Truly the best podcast I’ve listened to. Jess, I think your story telling has gotten so much better over the years, and Russ, keep doing you.

    P.S. Jess’s laugh sounds like Wheezy, the penguin from Toy Story 2.. no judgment though because my laugh sounds like a witch’s cackle.

    Much love,

  • Vote for Russ. Jess is the best.

    I found this podcast and immediately started binging it from episode 1. Russ is so funny and reminds me of a Bronx version of my husband with his not wanting human interaction, blunt answers, and only talks with alcohol on board. So when I got to the episode where Russ said he thinks he might be autistic I laughed so hard because my husband is autistic!. Jess plays the straight woman perfectly (definition; a straight man is a member of a comedy team who feeds lines to a partner who in turn repli... more
