The only podcast that I listen to faithfully every single week. Knox and Jamie are my besties, they just don’t know it yet.
No longer 5 stars for me

letterwriter21

Sadly for me the hosts have just become too mean spirited and raunchy. Gets cringy gross at times, esp as they are Christians it’s not a good witness
Pretty inappropriate

In the past, the team has navigated the line of funny and appropriate, but in the past 2-3 years, it’s gotten more and more past the line. If you’re looking for a funny, entertaining, and clean podcast, I don’t think this is it anymore :/
Will never not listen
