Quick witted fun with a dabbling of "probably" science

Love these guys! I first saw Andy Wood on Jeopardy back in 2020 and just fell in love with his calm voice along with his humility and intellect. When he mentioned a podcast I immediately tuned in and found Matt and Jesse just as adorable, quick witted, humble and smart! What a fun trio of friends 😀
