July 23, 2021 Joe and Laura Break a World Record
So much happens in this jam-packed double episode, we don’t know where to begin. Joe and Laura host a screener of “The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard” and go viral. Then, somewhere between shit-talking and ranking religions, they achieve a dream that burns in the heart of each and every podcaster on the face of the earth: they (unofficially) break the world record (unconfirmed) for number of times a certain word (for a certain part of the female anatomy) is said in a single (double) episode. Did you get all that? It’s time to count the clitorides (yes, that’s the plural of clitoris) with the Frienders!
