  • Funny & entertaining

    One of my favorite podcast. I’ve listed to it for about three years- Aaron is funny as hell. Daniel offers great perspective on the topics. They both have personalities that complement eachother well. Outside of the host- the topics they choose are unique. Even if they cover something you didn’t think there’s more to learn about- they dives deeper. Aaron mentioned onetime that he wanted to create a conspiracy theory podcast that would be more interesting- that’s exactly what they’ve done!

No, these guys do their research. They joke, they make you feel like you’re right there in the room with them, and they genuinely make every episo... more
