Great insight

Love all the amazing comic book info that these guys dole out. I drive a lot and this helps make the journeys more interesting. I miss Joe being on regularly but understand being a new dad doesn’t leave much free time. I am really enjoying the game shows at the end of each episode. I love the consistent Bob Monkhouse links. Well done guys

One of the best

Always look forward to this podcast arriving. Funny and informative.
I’m also a Patreon supporter and it’s totally worth it for the extra content.
