  • I have been listening to them for the past week. I find them very enjoyable to listen to while studying, I can’t drink so I mostly ignore that section of their podcast, but overall, it’s amazing.

  • Not for me

    35 minutes in and barely even started to tell the story. Hard pass on this one.

  • Great idea ruined…

    … by one of the presenters who thinks they are a lot funnier than they are and constantly talks over their co-host. Another potentially great show I can’t listen to because the presentation is unbearable.
