Still think about this show

Miss you two and would definitely listen if you ever decided to make another podcast!

Please continue this podcast

Quarantine may be over (maybe) but that doesn’t mean your podcast should be too! Loved listening to the two of you discussing fun random topics. So sweet, we need more of this! Huzzah!
