Great Mood Lifter

I listen to it every week and I always feel better afterwards. The podcast is funny, entertaining and informative (with regards to Mars and AFC Wimbledon).

I absolutely love it.

Nothing fake about this episode ☺️

Thanks John & Roman for a great episode!

For folks like myself who didn't know what is "Finsta", but learned after looking it up, according to Merriam-Webster:
"Finsta is short for Finstagram, or “fake Instagram,” referring to an account made so that a user can post images and interact with other accounts in a more private way, usually reserving the account’s followers to close friends."

Learn something new every day, LOL!

The best callback.

I doubled over with laughter when John responded to Hank's sneeze. It's never normal!

Being alive at the same time as J&H is v cool

I’ve been a nerdfighter for 15 (!!!) years and it never gets old to listen to John and Hank. The podcast is no different. Very proud of these guys. A++ podcast about Mars and AFC Wimbledon.
