  • Three men making a podcast isn’t so bad

    Recently found this podcast and have been binging it for a week or two. Very interesting. Very well produced (once they got rid of plosives). The research they do is amazing. And it’s awesome to listen to three best friends just talk and argue and figure out life and every day curiosities. Favorite new podcast of 2025 so far. Keep it up.
