Customer Reviews
BOOOOO!! And I don't mean scary :)
In the finest tradion of "Who Are These Podcasts", I'm giving Family Plot 5 stars...and now the real review :) I get it, Dean wants to do a PG-13 podcast since chicks are involved and maybe that's his demographic. This is not the Dean that I know. The "Lord of Pain" has mellowed out in his old age. I'm sure the lady hosts are great people, but this really needs to be the Dean show. Dean is a funny guy who has done stand-up comedy with the greats like Skippy from Family Ties and Screech from Saved by the Bell. Whoever stole Dean's funny bone, please return it.
C'mon Lord of Pain, ditch the chicks and be funny again. I tease.
Love it!
Just found this podcast! So glad I did! If you like true crime or weird & unusual things then this is a great podcaset to listen to! The the dad and daughter duo keeps you engaged and wanting to listen to more. Check it out!
So entertaining!
Dean and Krysta tackle some very interesting topics, I don’t know where they come up with them, but it’s genius. Being a father and daughter team gives them a great chemistry which makes this podcast so great to listen to. I’m a loyal listener for life!
