This is a crossover episode from my comedy podcast BREAKING TAKES that I am reposting in The AUXORO Podcast feed. Some of you may already be aware that I have another podcast BREAKING TAKES where myself and my co-host Sam react to the latest stories going on in the news and I thought what better way to promote a new podcast than to post an episode in the feed of my already existing podcast.
So here is the Holiday Extravaganza episode of BREAKING TAKES for you all to check out. Hopefully you laugh a little bit as you come along for the ride with me and Sam, and if you like the podcast definitely subscribe to the show in the BREAKING TAKES feed. I won’t be cross-posting regularly, this is a one-time thing. The AUXORO Podcast will be back in a couple of weeks with fresh episodes to start 2024.
Enjoy the show and thank you for the support!
