  • Great podcast

    The Doc and Carl teach us every podcast, and they do it without judgement. The Doc answers questions with humor and practicality. He’s a real Dad who understands how real life works, and doesn’t expect perfection.

    Carl shares his musical and production skills and his Mom’s humor.

    My favorite health podcast out there right now. Zorba can be very funny, but he knows his stuff and he knows how to talk to people.
