Real information

There’s a lot of podcasts out there but many of them lead to wanting to sell things and sharing the same info. Dave gives out everything. There’s 2 podcasts where he outlines the conjugate method and those alone are absolute gold. And the table talk eps have a lot of fun stories and real world experiences, been thoroughly enjoying. Thanks for all the info shared.
