Joe and Laura Break a World Record
Friday Jul 23, 2021
Friday Jul 23, 2021
So much happens in this jam-packed double episode, we don’t know where to begin. Joe and Laura host a screener of “The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard” and go viral. Then, somewhere between shit-talking and ranking religions, they achieve a dream that burns in the heart of each and every podcaster on the face of the earth: they (unofficially) break the world record (unconfirmed) for number of times a certain word (for a certain part of the female anatomy) is said in a single (double) episode. Did you get all that? It’s time to count the clitorides (yes, that’s the plural of clitoris) with the Frienders!

How dare you? Who do you think you are? Laura feels betrayed by another musician, a stinky bathroom, and a dream version of Joe. Joe feels betrayed by Laura wearing glasses. You don’t want to cross these two because they always spill the tea, and they keep receipts.
