cant stop wont stop

this is one of the only podcasts where i listen to every episode as they drop rather than all at once for background when i’m doing something boring. if i heard one of their voices out in the world it would be very hard for me to resist immediately talking to them as if they were a close friend. thank you for the joy!

ALL. OF. THIS. !!!!

I’m very late to this party: I heard Sam on an episode of The Big Flop and was intrigued so I thankfully found my way here. I love the very smart, relevant, and thoughtful discussion….and absolutely my kinda humor! Definitely going to follow and tell a friend 🩷

My favorite podcast

Saeed, Zach, and Sam are so smart, funny, and full of heart. I love their frank conversations, their honesty with each other and their listeners, and the variety of topics they cover each week.
