    I’m still behind on episodes but I had to say I adore the cooperative overlapping. I have this so bad that if someone isn’t talking with me I wonder if they’re even listening to me lol I’ve been calling it excited engagement. Love this podcast. Love the combination of learning and joking around.

    Frustrating listen because they had nothing concrete to say. Just attitude and prefab quips they deploy so their unintelligent listeners will think think they know things. But the substance never comes. I guess this is just a locker room for people with the same opinion to build vibes together or something. It’s too bad, I’d have thought Aaron Mate’s journalistic chops might have brushed off on his brother.
