GOAT

Long time listener - this podcast never gets old. Josh and Chuck have the perfect balance of facts, information, stories, and side chats. SYSK had been apart of my life for a long time… and not all episodes are created equal. But it’s a podcast I continue to listen to after all these years. Well done and thank you!

It is my favourite podcast but the ads are a little bit to much personally I think you should create a patrion for idk 3-5 dollars month with special episodes and add free ones but other than that great podcast keep it going cheers.
