A couple of friends completely unprepared to start a podcast but are doing it anyway. Let's shoot the bull.
Alex Essman and Mason McAnnally
On this episode, we discuss what it means to be a man, Mason's counseling experience, and how sports and culture are intertwined. Hope you enjoy!
In episode 15, Mason describes his night terrors, Alex talks about his fascination with sleep, and we start a new segment called "Things we should stop saying." Hope you enjoy!
Mason got married, but more importantly- Bryson DeChambeau is a kook. Alex and Mason talk about Mason's wedding and his honeymoon, our thoughts on church and culture, and some final facts about wedding traditions. If you enjoyed the episode, please like and subscribe! We'd love to hear your feedback. Cheers.
