You guys are great! I’ve been listening since 2020 and have always loved your balance between deep talks about faith and hilarious comedy. Jonnie, in last week’s episode you mentioned that your friend dressed up as the Icee Bear and got his mask turned to the side so he couldn’t see. The punchline could’ve been that he’s now the I-Can’t-See Bear 😂 Keep it up!
Great for the morning commute!

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! 😅
Better than all the rest!

This by far my favorite podcast! I'm working backward to listen to all the podcasts and am in 2019 currently. I listen daily to get caught up. I'm dying to be on your show you and help with all the answers I yell at the podcast. I am a full-time wife and homeschooling mom of four and a part-time triple board certified physician. This show appeals to my need for humor and deep theological discussions. These guys get it. I found Jonnie at Dry Bar and found the podcast through Jonnie's socials. Please keep up the great work!
