My favorite of all time !
This is the best podcast ever ! These ladies are truly amazing, they make me laugh ! I’m from Texas ( we are not all bad ) and listen all the time. I tell everyone to listen. My husband and I just took a fishing trip to Tennessee and it was so much fun looking up and then listening to stories from the area. Or just remembering ones I had heard before. Keep it up.
