  • Answering Questions I Hadn’t Thought to Ask

    Love Ryan and Godfrey from their other shows/work/internetings, so I was predisposed to like this, but even still I’m sometimes surprised at how engrossing the episodes are, even when the premise isn’t something I’d usually think sounds that interesting. They have great guests, they have a great rapport with each other, and they approach things from unusual angles. We love the show, folks!
