    Using 2 knuckle

    heads repeatedly(who I wouldn’t want to spend 5 minutes with) is low hanging fruit. As Nick T. terms it - a day off for them.

  • What’s it about?

    I can’t get a sense of what this podcast is supposed to be about. I listened to 30 mins of some knuckleheads timing each other eating burritos to see who can eat one the fastest intercut with football observations. Everyone is screaming and listening to it is painful.
