The profiles they discuss are very well researched, non-biased and presented in a very funny discussion. The 3 hosts are hilarious, intelligent and charming. Plus they stink.
Awesome!

The title of this podcast doesn’t do a good job of indicating how hilarious this podcast is. Reminds me of the times spent sitting around with friends BSing and laughing out asses off. Great job of relating historical characters. Definitely in my top 5 fav pods
