Laugh at Chris and Paula: Recent Episodes
Chris and Paula
A husband and wife talk about family and pop culture. What’s the meaning of “family”? How do you even spell it? Is it wrong we watch more cartoons than our kids? Why do we put out feeders for birds but not squirrels (not even Flying Squirrels?) Do we watch mobster movies just for the murders? Do people really need a rhyme to remember how many days are in a month? Is Whomping Willow in Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter? Oh, and why did our ceiling collapse? Plus, Life Hacks, Southern Paula, Pappy the C-PAP Machine, Top 10 Lists, Painful Memories, Future News & More.
