NSFW

I’m only giving this a 5 star rating because Apple only offers 5. Im on episode 119 right now. I’m been binge listening to this show for a couple of months and I listen though my AirPods at work. I’m requesting that the rating of “clean” be changed to NSFW. I work in a retail sales setting so I’m in and out of multiple different stores daily. This show is not safe for work. It’s becoming a problem of constantly having to explain why I’ve randomly started laughing while I’m by myself in the aisle of Walmart looking at a shelf of food. If you plan to listen to this at work, you’re going to laugh out loud without warning. So make sure the other office personnel can handle that. I love this show. It’s the perfect balance of truth and humor. Keep up the good work guys.

Great for the morning commute!

I love this podcast! I listen during my commute and it feels like I’m just in the car with friends talking and laughing. They tell funny stories and discusses tough topics christians face on the daily. Check it out!

Favorite Podcast

Found y’all on Jonnie’s socials and I’ve binged the entire episode catalog. My kids love listening along and we love to laugh together while we go to “banter town”. Because of you two I had to attempt to explain human video to my children.. I am now way more uncool than I was before! 😅
