Customer Reviews
My favorite podcast!!
Love these two!! Jess and Tenney (and Toad!) make me feel like friends are right here chatting with me 🖤🖤🖤 WUW 4EVA!!!
My favorite podcast!!!
If you want to feel like you’re sitting in a room with your best friends, listening to jokes, paranormal tips, hilarious movie reviews, pet shenanigans, and feeling cozy…this is the place to be. Jess, Tenney, and Toad feel like the besties you’ve never met but want to immediately hang out with!
Hey fellow weirdos!
Hi guys, I have to send you a quick note because I recently found your podcast and binged it all from the beginning over the last several weeks. I just finished the most recent episode and I feel sad like I just said goodbye to a close friend whom I will not see for a long time. I am an introvert who works from home and it was very comforting to listen to your conversations. You make me laugh, make me think about things in new ways, introduce me to me to new and interesting topics, and touch my heart. Maybe this is weird, but you make me feel more brave and able to to do things I never thought I could do and to put myself out there more. Just wanted to say thank you for what you do and I hope to be able to to meet you at some event in the future and say hi. Byyyyeee!
