Now We're Thinking

Now We're Thinking is a comedy podcast that makes the best out of any conversation with jokes, scenarios, and much more. If you love comedy, especially with a group of friends then this is the place for you. But if you can't take a joke, sarcasm, and/or explicit language this is not for you. We are just a bunch of friends who think about the best and funny in every situation and as well as making our own scenarios with improv, jokes, and our thoughts straight from our brains. Hosted by Justen Ambrosio, Oscar Gonzalez, and Alonso Lopez.
