  • Favorite podcast ever

    I discovered this podcast a few weeks ago and have been binging it. Russ absolutely cracks me up. He is not like mold, I loved him from the first episode. I recently listened to the episode where he said he thought Roe V Wade was the person’s name “Rovey” and I absolutely died laughing. I love that he isn’t afraid to look like an idiot. And Jess tells an amazing story. All around just love you guys!
