In this multifaceted podcast, two ignoramuses and lifelong friends attempt to use critical thinking in conjunction with information gathered from much smarter individuals in order to figure out what the deal is with life. Each episode covers a different topic of discussion ranging from new ideas to the meaning of life. It&#39;s lighthearted, it&#39;s contemplative, and it is always intellectually honest.
