    Really? I’ve listened to a few of Thor and Stubb’s podcasts in the past but now they’re using more F bombs and S words like it’s going out of style. Also they are trying too hard to be funny by adding on risqué comments about themselves which lands flat. They are adult men not teenagers learning about sex for the first time. Grow up.
