Justin and Stevepodcasters.spotify.com
Unhelpful Advice is a weekly podcast hosted by Justin Smith and Hunter Stevers. The two grew up together sharing similar interests but have a unique dynamic that sends them down bizarre, raging, and sometimes gross rabbit holes. Even though the two buddies are known for being ridiculous, it doesn't stop them from learning and discussing society, pop culture, and the uncanny elements of life. They try to stay classy, but their dark sense of humor contorts into an ignorant podcast.
