The perfect podcast for your voyeur needs

Listening to Ross and Patrick share their thoughts on gender, marriage, parenting, and politics is the perfect antidote to the FAKE NEWS world! Their rambling journey through witty banter, self deprecation, and genuine adoration of each other is refreshing. Gross.

Updated: Love this show!

I just wanted to post a review that is more recent than two years ago. JK, as a loyal listener and admitted family member, this refresh is great to see and hear. With life having all of the variables or does, a great way to catch up is recording a podcast! Ross and Patrick consistently make me laugh, while also sharing heartwarming stories from their day to day parenthood experiences. Keep up the good work and hope to see more soon.
