EP2: Dumb Stuff Podcast, Episode 2 (Not The Pilot!)

EP2: Dumb Stuff Podcast, Episode 2 (Not The Pilot!)

Dumb Stuff Podcast: We’re not dumb, we just talk about dumb stuff!

So a rocket scientist, a social worker, an unemployed businessman, a security specialist, and a software manager walk into a bar.  What do they talk about?  This podcast is basically that conversation.

No really, what do we talk about on this podcast?  Well, anything and everything!  Whatever is on our minds!  Is it entertaining?  Well, we can guarantee that this podcast is more fun than a hot poker in the eye!  And we’ll even give you your money back if you’re not 100% completely satisfied!

We’re just a small group of high school friends from Middle America.  We’re separated by several thousand miles but now we’re brought back together thanks to a global pandemic quarantine and a regular Zoom meeting.

Episode 2 (Not The Pilot!) featuring Kurt, Joe, Shane, Mick, & Frank

In this episode we discuss the following very important and very serious topics:

* everyone gives Mick advice about his lower back problems
