Great topic and presentation

What a great idea for a podcast and a welcome change from opinion politics and true crime. Too bad it hasn’t continued beyond these episodes. Both presenters are great together and present facts in a concise and humorous way. DEFINITELY worth a listen.

HS Dorks

Almost every episodes exudes that these guys never had dates and possibly ate their own hair in High School. I heard the word jocks a million times describing a mean spirited band member. Obviously these guys were jealous and resented to popular athletic boys growing up and are now trying to resolve their insecurities now through this podcast. No thanks.

Sad

Finally found a podcast that I really enjoy, and I’m very sad to find out that there will be no more episodes.
