IMPORTANT, yes look here ,

A long journey to get here

My favorite (funny) soccer podcast stopped making episodes and in heartbreak I asked for fun podcast recommendations. So my friend suggested Happy Rant…. Which also stopped making episodes! But in an add for Happy Rant I heard about THIS PODCAST.

It’s a lot of fun and I get a good laugh while listening at work, but I also get to engage my brain a bit on some thought provoking things.

I love the pod, please don’t quit now that I’m listening. (No shade: y’all are better than Happy Rant was)

So relatable!!

I’ve been binging this podcast for the last two weeks! I love the banter between these guys, they’re positively hysterical but also very thought provoking and obviously deep thinkers and very intelligent. So so good!!

Memento style

What a fantastic podcast. I recently discovered this one and have been listening to it all day at the office. It’s such a great series to binge. I’ve been doing it Memento style though….I’ve been listening in reverse order and when the new episodes drop each week then I listen to them….so mostly the episodes that I binge are in color, or as John Driver puts it, “not so black and white”…..and then the new episodes are the ones in black and white. Doing it this way gives the listener the feeling that they have short term memory loss….just like Lenny!!! Only the people that have seen Christopher Nolan’s Memento will understand. Keep up the good work on this podcast boys!!! You have me crying from laughing and also crying during the deep spiritual subjects as well!!! I can’t want to keep listening more and more so I can finally see how this podcast got started!! I look forward to any future book giveaways…..and the past ones too :)
