  • Deeply smart comedy

    I came on casually and when I realised they are basically fighting for their lives, I became a supporter. Super smart comedy, absurd and funny if you have a passing relationship with religiosity and/or misogynistic social roles, way more deeply hilarious when you realise they are actually married IRL. You guys are amazing, thanks for the LOLS.

    I had actually never heard of this Jesus fellow before stumbling across this podcast. These two have saved me from a life of eternal damnation and I can’t wait to visit the new water park at Twin Hills this summer. We will be moving to Indiana this summer and I just can’t wait for my kids to get a little older so they can come to CLIMAX with Grey. Praise him!

  • Hilarious and political but not in a depressing way

It hits my ear in an authentic way after 5 years of catholic school attending mass daily while also being chock full of delightfully pertinent social commentary and brilliant improvisation. And the guest list. Santa Maria the guests. All of your favorite underground and mainstream comedians are here unless you have dubious taste. Thanks, Mega, I just became a year-long subscriber on supercast and it’s t... more
