Hop Topic
Comedy
Born out of late night conversations after (exactly) one too many in the complete dark, one guy decided to actually hit record on his voice memo app. Many episodes and many guests later, Joe continues cracking a cold one with whoever he can get to sit on the other end of a microphone. It goes like this, three friends gather around the mics with a brand new six pack and talk about three random, sometimes completely unrelated topics. Truly, it's mayhem. But we're okay with that.

WHO KILLED CLAIRE: Episode 1
4/1/2023
The long anticipated, much awaited, debut episode of WHO KILLED CLAIRE?! Trey, Lindsay, Amanda, and Joe sit down for one of the most cursed episodes we've ever recorded (fitting).

But stay tuned, this is only the beginning...
