Laughed OUT LOUD

I recently looked up the list of podcasts that I made years ago and found this one. Omg I laughed my everlasting guts out listening to this show. Ivan & Max are very clever and absolutely HILARIOUS!! Now I need to find MORE than they wrote. Max & Ivan, if you read this, I’m sure we would be friends just based on your sick sense of humour!! ♥️♥️♥️ PS - I’m a Fiction Podcast Junkie and I can’t believe I found this 5 years after it came out !!!
Love it

This is very entertaining! Any podcast that can make me laugh out loud while taking my dog on his early morning walks is a keeper.
Hilarious!

Wickedly Funny

I am not a fan of contemporary bro’ picaresque storytelling- The Wrong Man, Harold and Kumar etc. This was a delight. Each harrowing adventure is borderline credible and over the edge funny, the characters are self absorbed but sufficiently absurd to make you still root for them. The pace is quick so you have no choice but to suspend thought (and disbelief). It’s just downright very funny. I absolutely love it. Please don’t do a second season.
Top Notch

It's been awhile since I've been so excited by a new pod! immersive sound design? Voice actors that don't sound like they are reading straight from the script? Bingeable pacing? All on lock, my dude. Locked tight. * after first listen to Ep. 1.
Actually pretty funny

So the premise is similar to The Wrong Man(s), but sillier? And yes, I was laughing within the first five minutes. I’m still on the second episode. Update: Yes, this show is good and ridiculous and kind of terrifying and I love it.
Fantastic

This is great entertainment and shows some excellent knowledge of how truly idiotic people can be!
