Blown away by the love and dedication from a few silly humans

Found you guys because of ain’t slayed nobody and let me tell you I binged through season one in like a week then went back for more. The creativity and sometimes chaotic nature of the plot, the niche humor and love for the game and craft muah chefs kiss you guys are the shizz and wolf I tried to summon you the other to help with out podcast edge of madness pod but I just got a dial tone maybe not enough garbage juice….. furiously goes back to drawing board

I’ve been missing out.

Just started listening recently and wish I knew of this podcast from beginning but I’ve got so much content In front of since I’m only on ep 34. This group is so funny and even though I don’t play games like this I feel like I’d easily be friends with them. Thanks for making this mailman laugh while walking his route.

Could not recommend enough.

If you’re into hilariously immature but weirdly mature humor, this is it. Truly the only podcast that has made me laugh as if I’m in the room with these goofs.
