Description
Bring Receipts is a podcast hosted by Brandi Collins-Dexter and Steven Renderos. These long time friends spend each episode debating an unpopular opinion about pop culture. Like how Tag Team's song "Whoomp There It Is" is better than 95 South's "Whoot There It Is". You can expect to hear a mix of humor, radical politics and bonafide sh*t talking. But you can't just show up to debate, you must bring receipts.
