I loved this call, I'm in Australia where we have hardly any new cases, yet I'm anxious about going back to work. Chris, you are an amazing human being and your reply to this called was brilliant. I needed to hear this right now as well. Thank you for being you and for producing this show 🧡🧡
shes so annoying. sounds like she enjoys the attention. she knew what she was doing at the young age otherwise she wouldnt continue crossing that bridge.
I simply adored this one. I was driving the long trek home at 9:30pm from Brisbane and was listening to this one in my car. I literally LOL'd in many places. Thanks for an easy, carefree, funny call. You sir, are my kind of human
A wholesome call.
I felt like Chris was a little rude in this episode
#childfreebychoice girlfriend!
I Love you guys! Caller... I know exactly how you feel in the mental, unappreciated self defeating rut. I'm so isolated socially and medicated to give me a reasonable shot at getting out of bed. Appreciate the opportunities you have by having a foundation of friends to get out with. I might be without, but YOU just made me so delighted. A much deserved brain break. Thank you😊 You owe it to me to pick up your damn stapler wave goodbye to the Bob's and go have a riot!
Love this show and really wanted to hear this story but I agree with the post above..
