    Reid and Richard are best friends who can you make you laugh about anything and everything (even when you least expect it) You’ll love Reid as the unapologetic nerd he is a Sherlock-Mind-Palace of fun information, as well as Richard and his witty humour and playful sass. These guys could talk about income taxes and make you laugh until you cry. Give ‘em a listen! You won’t regret it.
