Running In Slow Motion with Sidney & Tamra Smith You Hear Good Things podcast network Comedian Sidney Smith and his wife Tamra — a sharp-witted educator with a soft spot for flowers — team up to navigate life, goals, and culture at their own hilarious, at times, in-depth pace. They call it “running in slow motion,” and that pretty much sums up the vibe. This isn’t a marriage podcast (their union ranks a generous 5 out of 10, after all), but it is a refreshingly honest, smart, and funny take on relationships, ambition, and everyday chaos. From real talk to pop culture and unexpected interviews, it’s a joyride of relatable moments and laugh-out-loud observations. Explicit Some People Suck Podcast Kodie Croll & Hylton Davis the boys talk give their take and share what's been going on in their world that week, as far as the culinary world, comedy, MMA, wrestling, whiskey, growing up differently, stories, documentaries, reality TV shows and sports entertainment and everything in between, basically just two best friends being young and dumb and sharing life with you guys.
