This one time, at band camp, we three DeGraff brothers met a set of twin siblings named 'Spork' and 'La-A' (pronounced La-dash-a). Okay, not really. We only went to Christian camps.

Check us out this week as we discuss weird hypotheticals, facebook dating, and whether or not the 'CLOSE' button on elevators actually work or not.

If you've ever said to a loved one with Mesothelioma, "Hey, the I'm Telling Mom podcast will cure you." ...Shame on you. You know what you did. This week we try on a pair of denim dad jokes, accompanied by a straw hat, woven with young jokes. We realize the mysteries of the universe with earth-shattering revelations such as 'TUMS are mints for your tummy'. The game list this week was written by a small 9-year-old gremlin named Charlie.

Welcome to the largest dumpster-fire podcast on the interwebs today! In this whacked-out episode, Mason hijacks the ENTIRE 60-minutes with a little stunt he calls 'Mystery Gifts' - the always fun game where you pull out a bottle of Ghost Pepper hot sauce (855,000 scoville units) and make your friends try some!
