Dog-obsessed babysitters, Mafia sheep, God breaking Adam's ribs, over-zealous policemen, stupidly wealthy gym bunnies and interns taking over the world... it's just another normal, humdrum week at ClownsHQ.
And if you've got a mo', we'd love it if you could go to www.podcastawards.com and vote for us in the Comedy and People's Choice Award categories. That way we can share the silliness with even more people. Thanks!
