What a delight

I save these episodes for when I’m having a bad day. You will not find a more wholesome, effortlessly funny podcast out there.

Don’t sleep on this podcast!

Bonney (mom) is one of the most special humans on this planet. She’s just the right amount of wholesome, generous, cantankerous, grudge-holding fun.
John offers actual credentialed critiques and conversations while illuminating and sometimes irritating his mother.
It’s gold.
Never quit.
