Each week, Sam and Alex will hop in their time machine and spend time in the past in hopes of understanding the chaos that is sure to be our future. From pop culture to political news to scientific markers and medical breakthroughs, they and a guest will hold up a mirror to society and ask ourselves, “Did we really learn anything, or did we just become dumber?”

    It is a great comedy show, I think the hosts are still finding their footing sometimes talk over each other but I feel like this is soon to be one of my fave podcasts

  • Disappointing

    I gave it a shot because two of my favorite podcasts recommended it. Also, the premise sounded very compelling, but It’s honestly unbearable. Gave it 15 minutes, couldn’t stand it one minute longer. All the unnecessary talk about crack and the not so funny story about how they met, not sure if it’s the tone or the rhythm. Not for me.
