Hop Topic
89 episodes - English - Latest episode: over 1 year ago - ★★★★★ - 4 ratingsBorn 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.
