    Gray Wolf Attack - Mean Wolf/Nice Wolf

    Pride Month saw a meme make its way into Mike's life, so he very loosely based a subscriber episode around it. Wes talks about how the reintroduction of wolves into Yellowstone has affected the park, and Jeff doesn't let the opportunity to howl pass him by.

Best thing since sliced bread.

How could you not love these guys? I grew up in the 80’s and they sound so much like my friends. One thing that has me perplexed…. Jeff sounds so much like Garth and no matter how much I look at his picture, I still only picture Garth when I hear him on the podcast.

Spaghetti Slayer

Spaghetti Slayer' review was spot on! Mike hottest in the office.. too cute.

JesusFreakBecky ,

Appeals to everyone!

This is the most fun, ridiculous, informative, helpful podcast EVER! The different personalities work so well together. Jeff is hilarious and I thoroughly enjoy the way his brain works- lol - he says what I’m thinking! I’m older than the average listener probably, but I am constantly learning. You guys are too fun and I’m going to support you (the only one I will) because I want more of your shenanigans!!! Love you guys!
