JJS#69 - Fall is Here aka Grate Expectations

Fall is here and that means that Josh and Logan are talking about...well...people falling. It's a common theme here on the show but this time they are covering some truly perplexing situations. First, there's a woman who falls and gets stuck but does not need your help, and later there's a man that fell into a puzzling position and does not want to talk about it. Josh and Logan also discuss stolen marathon valor and generally spend the episode laughing like maniacs. Don't judge them too harshly ...

JJS#67 - I'm Glad That's Not Me

Sometimes you see people make such buckwild choices that you just think "well, I'm glad I'm not like that." This week, Josh tells stories about guys that tried to pull scams but just made such a stupid mess. They feature secret lives, theft, and some dog poop. Oh, also, Josh and Logan argue about mousepads. Remember those? We used to use them a lot but now we don't so much. Special thanks to our sponsor, BetterHelp!

JJS#64 - Joshy's Missed Friendships
