The hood wants to know one thing and one thing only if your cat is in the middle of the road holding up traffic at 6 or 7 am trying to kill a rabbit and when its done it brings it to you what are you doing? My pops pulled his camera out and filmed ours from the house window laughing.

Longtime listener, 1st time QA’er (c’mon, do it James) — Some of my favorite episodes were when The Bois discussed your adventures on DPW show weekends! The child running the U-Haul, James’ passionate ‘Halloween’ “TED Talk,” going Big Bloke Style at Outback, etc. It’s been awhile since we heard some, are there any new ones you’d like to share? I’m sure this final U.S. show in December was very emotional so if that might be a little too difficult, I understand. Even if this question doesn’t make the show, just wanna say Thank You to y’all (yes, I’m southern) for so many laughs, and getting me through my time out of the country. Listening to your Cookout stories and analyzing nostalgic wrestling shows really gave me a comforting taste of home. I appreciate each one of you so much! Keep coming back to town, bois, and I’ll keep dipping my hog!!💪🏽🧡
