Customer Reviews
Hilarious and entertaining
I listen to so many serious podcasts so it’s so good to have something so funny, interesting and entertaining in my queue.
Really hope they come back for season 2.
As long as they don’t do ASMR ever again, that was terrible.
ASMR
The ASMR episode with Jordan was the most uncomfortable I’ve ever felt while listening to a podcast. 5 stars but don’t ever do that again.
Pretty good!
Hey guys, I have been here from the start but I had to stop listening because it’s now explicit. Extremely disappointed but it was good while it lasted ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
