  • Season 5 Episode 8: Who Let the Dogs Out?
    Oct 24 2024

    Who Let the Dogs Out? Not co-host Michele VanDusen. She’s much too weak and dizzy to mess with dogs. Is she sick? Or, did she just consume too much garlic? Yes, garlic! Don’t ask, just listen to the show.

    It’s a good thing this is a comedy podcast because no one should take medical advice from two standup comedians. Especially when June Bug has been up to a bunch of monkey business. The ladies talk about Release the Hounds Music Festival, outdoor events, hosting shows, and believe it or not, they even manage to link together Johnny Cash, calzones, vampires, puppies, and primates. Now that’s a podcast you won’t want to miss!
