You All and Meatloaf

Today discuss beards (and why we’re both pro-beard), the situation in Venezuela, and spend most of our time talking about the radicalization of women through social media and gender roles in politics. Heads up, the woman of the podcast is probably way more critical and judgmental here.Courtney had a large amount of Celsius before this episode so if she sounds extra heated, that’s partially why. Quick plug, again - we REALLY want to hear from you!
