Bearded white guys/no hipster

You know those days when you're in college or even high-school and you sit in on the smart guys' dude-banter? It's how I feel listening to Joel and Lars. There are really insightful observations and funny, friendly jabs at each other punctuated with plenty of accent imitations or Sean Connery deep voice drop-ins. These guys know their storylines, the characters and they'll nerd out on digging up a plot hole. Solid pop-culture updates and analysis against an entertaining bromance backdrop.
