    It’s time to talk about grandmothers. 

    They can be strange.

    It was supposed to be strange stories about Halloween but we ended up talking about naughty magazine’s in Shaun’s grandparents house because live podcasts can be like that.

  • The Paqui One Chip Challenge or Shaun Kills His Tastebuds Live and Other Stupid Things People Do. LOVING THE STRANGE

    We thought he wouldn’t survive and he sort of didn’t? Join us for the podcast where Carrie absolutely doesn’t endorse the actions of her co-host as he kills his tastebuds, dries out his mouth, and looks like a zombie because he foolishly does the Paqui One Chip Challenge.


    Be warned: Shaun says the f-bomb a lot.


    AND I failed miserably, but thank you for listening anyway!!
