    Y’all always have great chemistry together. Thank you for making my life more enjoyable and for the education I receive each episode. You ALMOST bring things down to my level that I can comprehend😎 Thanks for the education each podcast. It is so much appreciated. The episode on Tiny was spell binding to me being a pilot with my one tandem jump. I’m reaching the end of my life cycle and Matt and Emily make every day a little more enjoyable for me. Bless you both and your podcast crew

  • For General Audiences

    It’s a nice show with a little something to learn each episode. But the content doesn’t go very deep. Also, the presentation seems aimed at a young audience. As a senior, the banter seem kind of juvenile. It’s not a bad show, just not very compelling to me.
