  • I’m only 2 eps in, but…

    … I’m already adding it to my regular listen list. The Adam Pally ep was so much fun, I laughed right along with these two through the whole episode. I know these guys are buds, but I feel like Ike brings this kind of friendly, familiar energy all the time - I always enjoy him on anyone else’s podcast. I also dig trivia, so this is right up my alley.
