The perfect combo!

Aaron, Jack and these STORIES!! It doesn’t get any better than this! Found this podcast and binged all the episodes, AMAZING work, Fella’s—thank you!!

I changed it to 5 stars

!!You Guys!! This is slowly becoming my new FAV. And that is saying a lot because I am picky😂(as you can see by my previous review) I rarely give out 5 stars because I think everyone can always seek to improve. But I am loving you guys together! Also I went back and listened to a Gen Why episode I had saved for a while and quickly realized that it was Justin that annoyed me not Aaron😂. So that being said, I decided to change my review to 5 stars. Please keep going. I am truly a fan. Much appreciation.

I was surprised, but I like it. I do not like Dark Topic or Gen. Why so did not think I would like this. It’s like the hosts are completely different people here; people that I like😂
