Joy, and blood pressure medicine

My weekend is not the same without this podcast. There’s always a hilarious line being crossed, or a thought provoking obscenity. My mom listens too. Give it a try, if you’re not offended, youll probably laugh a lot. There are flags for the rest of you.
Now that there’s What a Weekday, I get a little mid-week(ish) relief as well. All praise.

Hate the Weekday Episodes

Like every other pop culture focused show they just spend the entire Wednesday episode hating on various famous women. It’s such patriarchal nastiness and so gross that the peace of mind I get from unsubscribing is worth missing the weekend shows.
