FWAW MEANS FARMER WANTS A WIFE

Car Episode: That RBT/CBT riff might just be the greatest moment in podcasting. Call-Out Episode: EGGS AREN’T MEAT, BEN. Cass Paige episode: Also Mario (of the Mario family) is canonically from Brooklyn, NY, so he’s Italian-American, not strictly Italian. 👀 EDIT: Well JEFF me I guess for writing a review mid-listen because they actually look it up, I may have just assumed the gamer boyfriends wouldn’t have checked because who even does that??? Okay also the FWAW (farmer do be wanting a wife)/G&W riff is VERY FUNNY on x2.0 and x0.75 speed. Big recommend.

Video Game show that is good, safe and smart

I listen to Thumb Cramps every weeke and I’m better than I half been in all my life. Every pod, a treat. Every minute, a laugh. My cheaks hurt from too much lauhhing folks. May the Jackson & JD rain supreme. But not like as in da pizza!! *WINKY FACE*!!

Best spoiler-free system

Heard the spoiler song, skipped ahead to hear it again kept going and it skipped the whole episode. This was for my own protection.

Keep those cramps thumbed. Love you boyfriends
