These idiots are great

Just the right mixture of idiocy and intelligence

Just a comforting Cardinals podcast

I listen to a lot of Cardinals podcasts and radio shows in podcast format. Some feel like events. Some simply pass the time. This podcast is chill. I like listening to these two riff, and they have solid opinions and proposals. Biggest problem with this podcast is that they can sound really similar from time to time. While the timbre of their voices are a bit different, their vocal range is really similar. So, if they’re talking faster or getting worked up, I can’t tell who’s who. Maybe when I’ve started listening for years, it’ll be really easy to tell the difference. I used to think Dan McLaughlin and Rick Horton sounded the exact same. Maybe I’m just an idiot who has difficultly processing aural sensory data.

*edit: the hosts called me a sicko for leaving this review. That’s pretty amazing.
