    Evan and Grant are deciding to get niche. If you enjoyed the super random and super broad topics they delved into before, don't worry it will always stay fresh. Evan and Grant have realized they know that there is one common thread to their conversations and have decided to steer into the skid and accept that they are good at talking about their childhoods and 90s and 2000s culture. So join them in their journey and be ready for a little more consistency to scratch that niche.
