This is my favorite podcast, and has been for several years. It might be because I find Dan's presence soothing: his voice + his dedication to logic and reason + his levelheadedness in the face of Jordan's chaos (which I also greatly appreciate btw) all combine to make this the podcast I listen to when the news sucks too much. I know it might not make sense, but that's what this podcast does for me. It might be that I feel Jordan's outrage is sort of on the listener's behalf, and his reactions make me feel like I'm represented right there when they're recording. I can't express enough how grateful I am that they are willing to dissect these asinine conspiracies and that they bring the voice of reason into AJ's farce, because I know that I would not be able to keep a level head while listening to AJ drivel on, but this partitioning of it is incredibly invaluable to my mental health and my ability to keep surviving in this crazy world.
