That guy in the disaster in the desert episode is not from Iowa

Why does the guy from Iowa have an exaggerated southern accent??? It was too ridiculous to listen to

Filled with all kinds of truisms

“Also, do people who love The Cure, ever like bungee jumping? No, they don’t.” As an OG goth girl, I can attest to this being true. LOVE the show, big fan of Andy Tate. Definitely check out his other shows, which do have the approval of this Cure loving goth girl. SO sorry the story teller missed seeing the band, VERY glad at her perfect sounding exit out of that relationship.
