    As She Beats Her Hand

    As She Beats Her Hand

    Dear listeners, dark humor is how Man and I cope. At no point will we ever condone any violence, ever.  Please don't ever take our dark humor for our actual beliefs. We speak freely on this podcast and say things in the moment that are fucked up, it's our way of dealing with issues before we have time to process, then we find ourselves reflecting after the show. Certain beliefs and ideals were instilled in us by earlier generations and society and we are working diligently to change that within ourselves. So, please, remember we aren’t actual pieces of shit, we are just two massholes who'd rather crack a joke, than face reality sometimes. Society has made us numb to tragedy, but it is up to us to take things a little more seriously. We love you all and thank you for the continued support!

    If you're having a shitty beginning to the year, we're there with you.
