Two young working professionals living in the hearts of Utah and Salt Lake Valley try to find themselves by discussing noteworthy news, interviewing the most interesting people that will come on their podcast, and attempting to give unsolicited life advice. But really we're just two guys trying to have a good time by channeling our creative energy into something productive. We hope this becomes a seminal podcast that can justify its existence under the 'Health & Fitness - Sexuality' podcast category.
