Funny Business

Funny Business Entertainmentbeacons.ai
A podcast where Mike and Matt share internet stories or news that should be important to you. You’ll hear about strange news and personal experiences, and every once in a while, Mike will quiz Matt on some of the oddest things he can find. We’ll also dive into some of our original segments, like describing some of our strangest stories, debating if soccer is more boring than golf, and even talking about our feelings, as every man should. Funny Business is a podcast run by Mike and Matt, two friends who met at college and decided to start this project during the pandemic of 2020.
