I love hearing your banter almost as much as your interesting studies and info! Y’all make me laugh and learn things too.
I wanna be friends with them so bad
It is amazing how 2 young scientists can unapologetically be themselves and make a positive impact at the same time. Having a new episode from them brings a joy :) Thank you!
So fun
Honestly I mainly listen for Greg and mitches hilarious convos rather than the science but I still learn and laugh a lot!! Keep being you guys :)
