My go-to not too heavy episode. LIVE YOUR DREAMS LARRY.
I’ve listened to this episode three times. I still laugh until I puke
"Stay Bribed" hahaha
ive heard the story numerous times. Your puns, dry humor, sarcasm and commentary was enough for me to not skip the episode for the next one. Keep it up CC.
OMG Perry Caravello! I remember being obsessed with Windy City Heat when it aired on Comedy Central. Scary Perry has a Twitch stream now.
So happy we’re back! Also sad that I missed this event by one year. I lived in Weld County, about 10 miles away from Fort Collins, in 2008. I would have loved to have seen this stupid shit unfold 😆
Hoax = exhibition. Yes.
Excellent episode! Now I have to find those wife swap episodes!
By the end, the lawn chair guy's stunt seems positively wholesome.
This sounds like The Mosquito Coast family
I'm sad for Larry :(
Crazy Larry!
16000 feet?!!!
I hate balloons!
Apparently there is an endless supply of these assholes
I've heard of the Falcon 9, but didn't realise it was preceded by the Falcon 6....
