omg.. that's the funniest episode ever. The response to Mr or Ms L. amazing.
this guy's mouth breathing is disturbingly detectable...
one of the best episodes of all time. what an amazing story!
sorry, unless u stop paying ppl to post makeup and dance, etc. videos, then no1 is going to want to get off their rears and do "actual work". You have 2 entire generations that couldn't find their way home if u took away their phones and turned them in a circle 3x. 🤭
amazing story
Very incredible. this is like the story "everything is illuminated"
By far the 2nd greatest episode I've ever listened to.
So is Keto just another fad I don't get it
Spectacular. But even 'spectacular' has two sides, especially if it doesn't prompt acion.
Smart man you had on this one
