loving the parking garage story! classic
great pod today. The Strawberry!!!
The man had just made his favorite meal, laxative cabbage soup. His wife had just left him because he was on the toilet so much he passed out from dehydration so many times now when they call 911 its automated aggressive fart noises. He didn't care. Laxative cabbage soup was his baby. Well, his actual baby just popped out the other day because while he was fucking his pregnant wife he exploded both of them through the ceiling. He was terrified and devastated, thinking his child was dead. He poop levitated to China, ashamed. Turns out, the baby was fine aside from the fact it will now smell like cabbage for the rest of his life. The kids will call him cabbage patch kid. Bye Dave!
