    We also talk about sunglasses, drug dealers, breaking bad, and more!

    We wish you well, sincerely,

    Todd Glass | RE: Rituals & Good Stuff Gone Bad

    Dear Pennies and Pallers,

    This week we are re-joined by our friend Todd Glass! Letter one comes from Derek, a Paller who asks us about our daily rituals. In letter two, Kristin asks us, what is something that you absolutely love to do or experience, but if you did it all day everyday forever and ever, it would slowly turn into a torturous hellscape? We also talk about peeing in the pool at the pool bar, washing your legs in the shower, TombStone pizzas...again..., and more!

    We wish you well, sincerely,

    Your Pen Pals Daniel Van Kirk and Rory Scovel

A++++ HILARIOUS!

I’m very fussy about the podcasts I listen to and this one is a banger because it’s funny as hell. Daniel and Rorys rapport is on point. It’s My new favourite podcast - thanks guys!

You guys aren’t Jeff Besoz

I started listening to this podcast years ago. I think they thought they were Jeff Besoz. They are not JB. Nonetheless, I still listen because I like these dudes. But warning: they are not Elon Musk!
