I remember getting stitcher premium to just listen to this and the other original bits this podcast made.
what in the absolute fuck
I'm a fan of this podcast but this episode is unlistenable. It's just noise -- people taking and singing over each other. Not funny in the least, just annoying.
bahahaha... It took me way too long to realize they were trolling. I even thought to myself early on in the episode that that flat Earth guy sounds a lot like Matt Walsh. Well done 👍
dogs
How is this podcast not more well known?!
😆😅🤔🤤😳😲😍😌😜🙂😄🤗
fun
this one sucked big time. the whole thing is an ad, sounded like it at least
funy
