  • The best podcast

    A rare gem. Fervently debating the stupidest topics with intelligence and wit. The serial optimist versus the cynic.

  • Is this interesting?

    Yes!! The perfect pod to listen to on a Long June afternoon.

    From hot fruit to Hitler, from host chat to free skate, with a BJ sprinkle & Mayer cherry on top, Hely, King & Medina never fail to inform, entertain, and most importantly, persuade.

  • Dave should win more.

    I love them but my god, Dave should win twice as much as he does. (Is it a bit that Medina always sides with Hely?)
