We all know "that guy"

If you're looking for parenting / media usage advice, this is not the pod you're looking for.

As a fairly new, first time parent I went to seek out some podcasts that might help me be a better parent. I went looking for pods that are entertaining and educational that I might be able to gleam some info from. This pod, is not any of that. Not entertaining, not educational, and the premise that it has anything to do with parenting and media is outright false.

I *WANTED* to like this pod. The cherry-picked episodes I listened to had a focus of things I really like(d). What I ended up listening to was "that guy" who has taken 1 or 2 philosophy classes at junior college, sits at the coffee shop, and ponders out loud if they're real and what IS real?
