Update 9/15/25: unsubscribed from premium due to Russ’ ideas on organ donation.
Update 9/4/25: as a double organ recipient I am so disturbed that, Russ should rethink his thoughts on not donating his organs. Does he not realize that stem cell donations could possibly cure his spinal injury?? I’m super disappointed in him, but will stay a subscriber.

Been binging this podcast for two months, and I’m hooked! First episode? Russ almost made me throw my phone, and clutch my pearls because… bless his heart… But the dude is sarcastic, hilarious, and somehow real and reliable now I can’t get enough. His opinions are wildly refreshing.
My 2-year-old coworker (aka my toddler) probably thinks I’ve lost it from all the random bursts of laughter.
Definitely one of my top podcasts. If you hear a crazy person giggling, it’s probably me
Apple Podcasts5Raising_CainUnited States20 days ago - I might be your love child!
I stumbled upon this podcast and have basically binged every episode! I swear I might be the long lost love child of Russ and Jess. As a native New Yorker I literally think Russ is hilarious. As a former dancer, poet and someone who just loves research, I also love the way Jess tells stories. I also now live in MD, so I’m telling you the coincidences are crazy. My husband tells me there’s one main reason I can’t be your love child though…I’m black. #technicality #daddyruss But seriously if I cou... more
Apple Podcasts5Raven_LaurenUnited States20 days ago - Russ has Undiagnosed ADD
Russ says the most unhinged things I’ve ever heard. But that’s what makes him so relatable. I’ve been listening since day one. I still crack up every time Russ chimes in with his ad-libs and Jess just ignores him because she’s so used to it. Jess is an amazing story teller and gives victims dignity and the platform they deserve. And Russ adds another layer for us people with ADD.
