  • Good conversation

    Been listening for awhile, I enjoy the conversation and banter. The only downside is I can’t listen to it while working out, because sometimes I’ll laugh a little too much and mess up my set.

  • Great show

    The algorithm recently brought this show to me after the DW/KDY kerfuffle and then I have binged a lot of episodes, and these guys do a great job dissecting the YRR movement and have a lot of great content on a number of issues. Even when I don’t agree with everything they say (especially as a reformed Baptist), they are fun to listen to and have a lot of great insights.
