They dive into outrageous topics like the quirky history of buttons, bizarre encounters in the forest, and the absurdities of parenthood. The humor flows freely as they tackle gender stereotypes, celebrate Women’s Day, and engage in fantastical discussions about pizza toppings and cryptids, all wrapped in delightful chaos.
