Dumb Stuff Podcast: We\\u2019re not dumb, we just talk about dumb stuff!

\\n

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.

\\n

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\\u2019ll even give you your money back if you\\u2019re not 100% completely satisfied!

\\n

We\\u2019re just a small group of high school friends from Middle America.  We\\u2019re separated by several thousand miles but now we\\u2019re brought back together thanks to a global pandemic quarantine and a regular Zoom meeting.
