I usually never listen to podcasts. Mostly because I don't really know what they are but I think I get it now. So on Tuesday when I needed something other than my typical top 40 playlist to listen to while doing my work, I chose this. Initially thought I was the one doing these guys a favor by giving them more downloads (however the stats work in the podcast world) and not expecting to get too interested but I am almost obsessed now. One of my favorite things to do is listen to other people's conversations (some would call it eavesdropping) and this gives me a non-nosy, less creepy way to do that. I feel like a fly on the wall listening to this group of friends. The topics (only speaking about the general half here) range from Oscar nominations, hopes/dreams, embarrassing moments and for some reason lots of Disney. Their laughter is contagious but beyond humor they supply new insights on topics that I find myself thinking about for hours later and wanting to discuss them with my own friends. Their viewpoints are refreshing and most times unexpected. I rolled my eyes initially when seeing one episode titled "Friend-zone" and awaited gross comments that would make me want to rip my headphones out but in the end I was surprised by what they had to say. I won't spoil it, because it's certainly worth listening to on one's own, but they put a deep amount of thought into these topics. Their responses seem genuine and non-rehearsed. In a lot of episodes they say how they are not expecting this podcast to "blow up" but I can't help to root for this group and wish for them success with this project. I am a forever fan of this and I hope it sticks around.
