Yule Be Surprised | The Origins of Christmas

No Holds Barred New Years Special

Well, we have managed to finally put 2024 to bed, yet we live only to face a new nightmare...2025.  So, your favorite weirdos are coming at you with a very laid back, unscripted and unplanned, no holds barred special, where we let our random nonsense lead the way. We close out 2024 by asking the important questions like is water smart? How much is "a lot" when it comes to poaching eggs?  We go into our thoughts on Kody Brown, look into some smut(with a sample reading by JD!) As well as discuss the difference between polyamory and polygamy.  We're all over the place on this one, so if your brain is fried already going into the new year, let our nonsense be a port in that mental storm!
