4.8 out of 5 stars from 1.5k ratings
  • Hosts are way too ignorant

    Honestly they just shouldn’t have a podcast with this title. They sound like first year undergrads trying to tackle big topics in math or physics that are outside their current level of understanding. Maybe get at least a masters degree first. Or maybe rebrand the podcast as beginners learning these things so the low level of knowledge is not so frustrating to listen to.

  • Awesome podcast 💪

    A lot of people complain about the topics not being straightly called out or explained one way, but honestly most these topics have an endless way of explaining them 🤷‍♂️ keep doing what you’re doing and keep being yourselves! Much love dudes ! (If you don’t understand something they say, research it, come back and try and put 2 and 2 together! Get an idea of the topic for yourself because everyone will have a different understanding or opinionated answer to these questions or topics)
