One of my favourite podcasts!
The chemistry between Kyle and Adam is so cute. Kyle's the bringer of all the fascinating information, and Adam, the one constantly being schooled, they make such a perfect pair.
I could listen to Adam’s voice all day, and Kyle’s constant need to shock has me laughing out loud. These boys are my absolute favourite—it genuinely feels like they’re my sons! Their banter and bond make every episode a joy to listen to, and I can’t recommend it enough.
