Press Reviews These people are simply unbelievable! Quite probably the best thing since buttered bread! I quit my job and divorced my wife just so I could hang out at their house and dwell in the presence of such uncommon greatness! I felt like a great weight had been lifted and the wool came right off my eyes! The first time I saw them I peed my pants!
