This is a show built on the foundation of the legendary listener-submitted yarn, where no story is too wild, gross, or bizarre to be shared.

Jay and Dunc don’t shy away from the real stuff; they regularly tackle themes of resilience, the complexities of parenting, and the vital importance of mental health.
