So while the trailer is family friendly, this show is explicit, meaning it contains more adult language and themes than our normal content. Listener Discretion is advised. We hope you enjoy!   === Credits === Produced by Halfwit Podcasts ( https://www.HalfwitPodcasts.com ). Written by Matt Spaziani ( https://vocal.media/authors/matt-spaziani ). Vernon Wright is voiced by Jonathan Swenson ( https://www.jgswenson.com ).
