  • A great balance between hilarious and interesting

    This podcast has quickly risen to one of my favorites. It alternates between interesting fun facts that you wouldn’t hear elsewhere to hilarious bits fueled by random side tangents. A unique podcast and a great community around it as well.

    The incredible thing about this podcast is that if you’re not locked in at every second, suddenly Kaveh will be saying “cream jeans” about 4000 times and you will have no idea why
