  • Love you both! Neither of y’all need red light therapy

    Listening to your red light therapy episode (my screen name is a ref to the I smell like beef vine NOT the ep just beautiful timing). Dropping in to say that maybe you’re right about Canadians having better skin. I am ultra jealous of y’all looking 25 and not needing skincare regimens meanwhile I just turned 30 and being a PhD student in the US is giving me wrinkles 😂 please don’t ever stop the pod, you’re doing noble work educating us and having fun doing it!

  • The butthole episode

    I’m new to this show, and I was really intrigued by the show description, but disappointed in the actual show. A good podcast is a balance between facts and banter/chemistry/digressions between the hosts and guests. This show needs more of the first thing and a lot less of the second thing. Tighter editing and less ‘OMG!!!!!$&&(!!’ please.
