Join Manny, Noah, and Devan — three best friends and journalists — as they settle dumb arguments by actually doing the research.

Each week, they start with a debate or discussion. Why don’t men ask follow up questions? Should schools ban phones? Is dating an AI chatbot cheating? Then, they go out into the world, talk to experts, conduct experiments, and find the answer.

  • Swiftie approved Boy podcast

    I listen to a lot of podcasts but *~*as a woman*~* I tend to shy away from shows hosted entirely by men. However, this show is so informative that I have changed how I do laundry and walk my dogs because of it! I had listened to basically every other episode except for the T Swift one because I liked the show so much and didn’t want to ruin it (They are left leaning but that doesn’t usually save male podcasters from having misogynist takes on Taylor).

    I finally broke down and listened to the T... more

  • Meh

    Fine. None of the hosts have any discernible personality. No one ever has yet revealed any interesting thoughts or nuanced opinions in their own subjects so the hosts ask their experts shallow questions and gets shallow answers.

    A podcast for un-inquisitive people who need things to think about

  • Boring after a while

    I might be done with this podcast. It puts itself out there as an authority on a subject or getting down to the core of it, but these guys are kind of dumb at the same time.

    They bring on an “expert” but the expert might be kind of bizarre or have a niche opinion and they never find anyone else let alone anyone else with an opposing viewpoint or different stance.

    It’s just stale podcast cotton candy out here.
