I so totally believe that the podcaster killed the real Chuck during her 4 weeks in Florida with Evan as her accomplis. She gave it away when she refused to brush a Shetlyn Pony. Cause who woudn't want to brush a pony?! I'm going to start my own crime podcast so that I can expose the truth and make a podcastes arrest. That might not be a thing in Minnesota, but hey, the crime happened in Florida, so podcaster arrests could totally be a thing in Florida....Evan
the greatest podcast ive ever ever heard, thats so much to take in
I'm absolutely horrified by the fact that I did not know about this bad ass podcast before
Stop with the "Dictaphone" verbiage. That is from the Perry Mason era and a very big machine. Cassette recorder is what you are looking to refer to in this 80s/90s setting.
is this real? are actors acting out the people?
The podcast from inside prison is a definite nod to Ear Hustle!
I thought season 3 was drawn out and dull but I did think the ending was cute.
I paid three times for this fucking podcast, still can’t get it, still don’t like it. Season 1 was amazing. Season 2 was disappointing, season 3 they forgot they were making a comedy. I keep paying because I love them so much but now I’m thinking fuck you. I paid to get it early x3 and still can’t get it, there’s only 2 episodes left and I can get those for free.
"well um yeah, um yeah, ah Daniel, um i uhh!! horrible acting
There is currently an advertisement to get all of season 3 now, as of 9/9/20, for 5 bucks. This doesn't work for castbox you'll have to use another podcast player.Just a heads up
it took me a whole season and 2 episodes to realize this was fiction. Even the weather man defending himself in court which was freaking hilarious. I had already recommend it to everyone though so I'll let them find out on their own.
...err...I find Daniel extremely annoying. Is it just me? Great mockumentary thus far.
best
"wait hold on.. Oh nevermind sorry he's still perfectly dead" lmao.. I can't stop laughing at this mess.. I would hate to run up on a dui checkpoint there's no way anyone would think I'm not drunk or something
💕
After the second episode I realized this isn't real, I was in that cult and I didn't know any Ky dude. Awesome podcast tho, I'm in love with Gwen's voice.
Hysterical. Sounds promising... AND serious.
Gwen, this is good... Loving it, thanks
so fucked up. love it
this music is great!! I need an album.
