  • Bestest Podcast eVeR!!! LLLLLLLLLLLOVE

    This is the funniest thing ever! The jokes are indeed groan worthy, and it is the most nonsensical and hilarious podcast you will run into! My favorite joke is the one about the Christian bear (hehe šŸ»šŸ˜„) I love this 😁😁😁 you should have J.K. Rowling as a guest speaker

  • Ridiculous in a good way

    Rather than answering a listeners question, they accidentally started a business for selling rodent waistcoats.(The question was how much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood.) So funny, lighthearted, and wonderful. Five stars!šŸ„‡
