Teeeeeerrry!!! But I found this host so funny in the sequence of hosts! Hilarious!
Noooooooooo, not enough episodes! You've only just come back!
again 😭 wankers!
Dr Phil?
wow just 1 lame story that took too long...
love that southern? narration♥️
Ricky Lee was the only one of the temporary hosts that was any good.
Jeff??? 😂😂 the cameos are so random, I love it.
Ed sounds like Brendon Frazier 🤔
This dude has to be ranger or airborne
Ted??? 😂
40 minute episode with 10 minutes of actual content
Or Adopt a child. That would break the curse.
The end. 😂
Ignore Neville. it is obvious that he is not somebody worth listening to. I liked this episode.  I would like Terry Carnation to come back, but I thought his maintenance man fill-in was OK.  I like diversity in all things. And I don’t like racists.
classic schmared
best guest host 🩷
The first storytellers vocal fry was pretty distracting.
What happened to the guy's friend in story #3?
I probably would’ve worn the real estate agent that the daughter is there with a guy who is clearly a predator hiding in the house
