Convincing Idiots
Pop Culture Talk. Nerdy Debates. Personal Insults. Questionable Jokes. We are friends from 3 generations (Brian =GenX, Dean=Xennial & Nick=Millennial) who enjoyed talking and debating all things nerdy and pop culture at our local bars so much we made a podcast! We share views from our different perspectives while making fun of ourselves! Are we convincing you to give us a listen?
