InS.I.ghtful Stories with Matt and Will

Ever been to a place with a 5 star on google only to have it be a huge letdown? Well both of us have and we are pretty pissed about it.

Well kinda. Today we go over why restaurants seem to lie to get poeple to work for them. Is this a tactic to get people on board?; Is this an idustry standard?; or do people just suck? It's good to be back.

Join Matt and Will as they open some Bud Light and Fireball and discuss the future or restaurants in the dating world. This one takes a few turns but it was nice to get outside and have a nice fire on a summer evening.Thank you all for your continued support as we get these going again!

Matt and Will are back in studio for another installment of the podcast that makes no sense. They go over a few key points of how your favorite restaurant has changed over the past 2 years. They also just talk about nonsnese for a while after that, but they are back!!!

Our first one back in a looooooong time. There are some audio issues at the end with some hissing but that should not bother the 3 of you that listen to this. We discuss horror stories from Reddit on this all new episode and season of InS.I.ghtful Stories with Matt and Will.Glad to be back!!! For now...
