Aaaaaand we're back for season 2! We kick off our new format with a little chat about what interesting stuff we've turned up this week. Topics range from Keanu Reeves, the abolishment of the concept of time, and bad takes from both Mitch McConnell and Whoopi Goldberg. Then the boys tackle an age old question, what are the top 5 rom coms of all time? The answers are fraught with disagreement, but which movie will capture the number 1 spot? Thanks for tuning in to our new adventure, and remember, the sun never sets in podcast land, so who cares what time it is.
