Hurricanes in California, WTF?
OK, it was only a Tropical Storm, but still... that never happens. Also, there was an earthquake the same day for Pete's sake. Anyway, it seemed like a good idea for the Jocular meteorologists to investigate.

Customer Reviews
Love it!
Such a pleasure to listen to! Entertaining, and very engaging. Absolutely love it!
Gluten-free wafers in the Westminster Abbey?
Hey, is that really true? There are so many fun and interesting facts that pop up in this wonderful podcast. And I trust what they say. Tomas and Phil are far from pugilists but we benefit from their friendship and warm vibe, knowledge of history, FOOD, and fun facts. I love how they are down to earth and laugh at themselves, too. They have funny banter like when Tomas mentioned a Japanese film style and Phil asked, “origami?” Tomas doesn’t respond and Phil is disappointed. Another time Phil shared how his friend’s dad warmed them with a shot of brandy before playing bball on a driveway shoveled free of snow. It made me laugh when Tomas described how his sister-in-law told him he ate too much after his first dinner at a super fancy restaurant. They have awesome memories and I think I’ll start adopting some of theirs to make my life more jocular. 5 stars!!!
Awesome podcast!!!so much fun to listen to! Thank you!
Each episode is so interesting and different love listening to every aspect of the pod cast! A history lesson with humor, banter & music.
Every high school should have your podcasts as history lessons!!!
