  • I like Study Buddies

    The only complaint is that when you read from a book or a text, you read it way too fast; the content is usually dense so I’d appreciate it if you’d slow down to match the pacing of the rest of the show’s cadence.

    You’re both funny and clearly love nerding out in the best ways possible.

    I shall join the $5 Patreon soon!
