Send us a text
It's here! 200 episodes of this dumb show.

Like we did for 100 episodes, we get destroyed and try to record something that resembles a podcast. For legal reasons, we were definitely totally sober during this recording and it was all an act.

This week, it's all about stories from the dumpster fire that is Florida! In the second version of this show (check out episode #66 for the first part), we're covering the stories of Linda Ducharme, Linda Keath, Jayson Laughman, Kenneth Haskins, and Christian Radecki.
