Hilarious.

My wife had to tell me to quiet down on the plane I was laughing so hard. Very happy I found these guys before this podcast blows up. They’re hilarious and they are surely going to take off soon. Give them a listen.

Tales of doing dumb stuff when ineebed are the best tales.

I really enjoy this perfectly curated collection of stories detailing what we humans do when we’re in the cups. CJ and Sean will make you laugh while normalizing your own questionable behavior. Check it out!
