By listening to this podcast, I always learn new things and laugh out loud. What more could one want? Also- a hotdog is not a sandwich.

I’ve been listening to this hilarious and insightful show for years. While it is delightfully funny, it is even more nourishing and formative. It’s lessons and judgements have made me a more empathetic and accepting person. I’m proud to be a listener!
cat respect!

Jesse & John showed true concern about feral cats, and I learned more about the issue in the recent case (February 2025). They're also pretty decent humanitarians; I also learned about alotrolado.org & made a small donation. Thanks for using your shared platform well!
