    Stumbled across MC a few weeks ago and I have been binging episodes daily ever since. Josh and Dane have great chemistry and listening to the podcast feels like I’m listening to a few guys banter at my local shop. If they ever stop making this, I am going to have to move to Tucson so we can be friends. Keep up the good work gents!
