  • Love these guys

    These guys paint an amazing mental picture. Not every episode is a subject I find particularly riveting, however these guys are an absolute pleasure to hear speak on historical subjects. The subtle humor often has me rolling on the floor. “I’m sorry, did you say he short himself in the head and then led the police on a high speed boat chase?”😂😂

  • Love this

    I’m endlessly frustrated that the water engineers and road engineers sat together in the same classroom in the past, and these smart cheeky conversations give me insight, perspective and entertainment in managing my frustrations. Thank you dudes
