HUGE FAN! Long time listener and I love Russ’s commentary! Jess is an amazing story teller and the chemistry together is perfect for a podcast!
Jess tells each story so well you’re completely locked in—but Russ? He’s over there saying what everyone’s thinking (and probably shouldn’t), and it somehow works perfectly. The mix of serious storytelling and “did he just say that?” humor makes this podcast ridiculously entertaining.
It’s like true crime with a built-in commentary track from your funniest friend.
I love listening to you guys in the morning especially when I’m not hyped up, but Russ gets me dying in the morning, I hope Jess you can get Russ to pay attention to you,have an amazing day.
Can’t not get enough of you two! Jess you do an exceptional job telling stories and ignoring Russ.
Russ I appreciate all your unpaid overtime these days. Hopefully your lack of understanding just why day time and year it actually is helps you forget just how much she has you doing for the crime family. XOXO
I love Jess & Russ! This podcast has me taking mental notes like I’m going to be called as a surprise expert witness someday. The storytelling is so good I forget I’m supposed to be scared.
