Publisher's Summary
Samantha Dugan and Abe Lally are best friends. They steal kidneys. They have their reasons.
Samantha is a professional seductress and con artist with a heart of gold. If she talked about her work, she’d tell you she only pilfers organs for medical research and that she only takes one kidney, and she only steals those kidneys from dishonest people. It’s hell on her social life.
Abe is the doctor and Sam's partner in crime. He isn’t much of a criminal. Except for the kidney stealing. But he’s using that money to fund his research that he anticipates will be able to cure diabetes. So, all for a good cause...? You decide. Of course, it's hell on his social life.
Cut and Run was performed by Meg Ryan, D’Arcy Carden, Sam Richardson, Rachel Bloom, Thomas Lennon, Ed Begley Jr, Eugene Cordero, Baron Vaughn, Carlos Alazraqui, Arturo del Puerto, Dustin Ybarra, Aaron Abrams, Ginger Gonzaga, Greg Santos, Oscar Montoya, Roberta Valderrama, and Shulie Cowen.

In sports, everybody loves redemption stories, the underdog who no one believes in but through sheer hard work wins it all. But no one tells the stories of the players who work hard and don’t make it. In pro football, 53 guys get on the roster. Ten make it to the practice squad. And then there’s the 64th Man - that’s Billy Logan (Cena), who seems to always be one spot from glory.

From breakout stand-up comedian Iliza Shlesinger comes a subversively funny collection of essays and observations on a confident woman's approach to friendship, singlehood, and relationships. "Girl Logic" is Iliza's term for the way women obsess over details and situations that men don't necessarily even notice. She describes it as a characteristically female way of thinking that appears to be contradictory and circuitous but is actually a complicated and highly evolved way of looking at the world.

Shelby works as a dog walker in northern California, and she’s just finished up her bi-weekly trip to the park with a husky named Pluto. When she brings him back to his house, she finds his owner - Todd Burke, a well-known local businessman and founder of an organic supplements company - lying on the bathroom floor, dead. A detective arrives on the scene. As she interviews Shelby, the body is inspected by a medical examiner, and more cops search Todd’s home, it becomes clear that the victim’s life was less picture-perfect than his clean-cut persona might lead you to believe.

The white-washed Italian villa is perfect. I thought it might feel odd, living in a stranger’s house for the summer, but as my husband and children swim in the infinity pool, I start to relax. And then, in the back of a wardrobe, I find something that shatters everything.... Sparkling green eyes, square jaw, lopsided smile. A young man with his arm around a beautiful woman. The picture is old and faded, but I’d recognize him anywhere. The man is my husband.

A man. His ex-girlfriend's cat. A sadistic game show unlike anything in the universe: a dungeon crawl where survival depends on killing your prey in the most entertaining way possible. In a flash, every human-erected construction on Earth - from Buckingham Palace to the tiniest of sheds - collapses in a heap, sinking into the ground. The buildings and all the people inside have all been atomized and transformed into the dungeon: an 18-level labyrinth filled with traps, monsters, and loot.

Hi! I’m Seth! I was asked to describe my audiobook, Yearbook for websites and shit like that, so...here it goes!!! Yearbook is a collection of true stories that I desperately hope are just funny at worst, and life-changingly amazing at best. (I understand that it’s likely the former, which is a fancy “book” way of saying “the first one.”) I talk about my grandparents, doing stand-up comedy as a teenager, bar mitzvahs, and Jewish summer camp, and tell way more stories about doing drugs than my mother would like.

Dumb and funny
Lame forced plot, flat characters, and unconvincing relationships. However, the humor is rapid fire, cleverly worded, and hilarious due to solid acting and delivery. The wit is highly self-aware, which is very funny but isn't enough to save the 'who cares' story. Worth one listen if and only if you can get it for free.

Cute story
I was skeptical about this one but then found myself really liking it. The narration was superb. The story line was cute. I recommend giving it a try.

Not For Me
Humor tends to be rather hit or miss, and this was a miss for me. It was the tagline "a light-hearted dark comedy" that caught my interest, and the mention of D'Arcy Carden that had me giving it a try for as long as I did. But the story was hard on the "light-hearted" and not nearly as dark nor as comedic as I would have expected, given the subject matter. In fact, one of the things that was unappealing to me was this feeling that the story thought that it was darker than it was.
The premise of this story is that Sam and Abe are part of a crime ring that harvests organs. Their modus operandi is that Sam seduces married men looking for something on the side, and then Abe harvests the organ. They wait until they are away from the scene, and then their contacts set off a chain of events that will result in the victim receiving proper medical care. One day, as Abe is rearing up to propose to his girlfriend Katie, their mark is the very pretty and ambiguously-wedding-ring-wearing Jeff, but when things don't seem to go quite right, Sam, who can't help but like him, returns to the scene of the crime. This sets off a chain of events that result in Sam, Abe and their boss Gordon getting in trouble with the higher ups of their crime group.
Basically, the organ harvesting is almost irrelevant after the first part of the story, and then it turns into this half-hearted skit about a bunch of good-hearted but ambiguously criminal individuals perhaps over their heads in a crime group.
I think the performers did a great job--I can't think of a single way any of them could have done better...but at some point, if the dialogue isn't engaging, no amount of great voice performances can make enjoyable what is not.
So...there's nothing objectively wrong with this, but it isn't for me.

Worth every second
I loved it! It has an outstanding cast of people who know what their doing. The story flowed at a good pace that keeps you interested. Between the voice work and added sound effects it dragged you in.
The humor of it is a little dark, I mean it's about kidney theives that's expected, but it had me laughing so hard at times.
It's worth the listen.

meh
The voice talent is outstanding!!! The story isn't for anyone that is sensible to foul language, defiantly not for kids. I didn't find humor in this Audible Original.

So much stupidity by so many characters...
There was possibly supposed to be a story between all the gibberish, but there was barely any reference to the intended kidney thievery or anything else. No humor, not even a chuckle. Unbelievably disappointing.

Fun and easy listen
The performance of the narrators were really good and it felt like I was in the story with them seeing them. It was indeed light-hearted! Easy listen if you are doing some chores or even while working

Refreshing different and great
I really enjoyed listening to Cut and Run. A proper storyline, fun, good acting and narration, and a story that’s a bit different to the same old. What’s not to love?!

Listened to half and gave up
The cast are brilliant and it is well performed but there just isn’t any interesting story behind it. Listened to half of it before giving up. These audible originals seem to lack a proper, gripping story
