I have a crush on a guy who’s obsessed with this show. I started listening because he’s cute and I wanted him to like me, but kept listening because it’s genuinely entertaining! Great vibes. 5 stars 😂
Fun way to learn about obscure historical events. Guys are always hilarious and keep things pretty light

I may not have a spotter when I stranglebate but the soothing sounds of your succulent voices always make me finish before I asphyxiate. That gives me great comfort and satisfaction. Love you guys and all that sweet sweet Evergreen content. Frat clown gym bro history is apparently my kink and who doesn’t get hard when hot Bob does voice impressions.
