Dumb Love
A comedy podcast about the dumb things people do for love. Jen and Sally start each episode with quick stories —like the one about a man who says he’s made love to over 1,000 cars or the dumb couple who robbed a bank and then posted about it on Facebook— before launching into the heart of the podcast. Every episode, Jen and Sally share one true crime story with love at its core and one true love story that will restore your faith in humanity. Dumb love will make you laugh, get you fired up and melt your heart- all in one short hour a week.
