Love this podcast

Very hot takes and constant humor from two very knowledgeable professionals.

Entertaining

This is pretty good. I am familiar with Michael Batnick from The Compound and Friends. It’s entertaining. But, they tend to go off on tangents, so the flow isn’t great. They also give uninformed opinions. I typically don’t care for their guests on the talk your book episodes.

TylerH3232 ,

I never miss an episode

Very relatable content and humor
