Loved it!

As a cis gender 73 year old I doubt I'm the intended audience for these two, but I was thoroughly entertained and engaged. Poignant and laugh out loud funny. More please.

What a fun & funny listen!

What a treat it is to listen to these friends talk about things that are sometimes tricky to navigate, and to hear them do it in such a kind and (very) funny way! They have terrific & fun chemistry, I loved the feeling of being able to hang out with them for a few hours, it was like being right there in the room with them. More please!
