Does "Sleeping on It" Actually Do Anything?
In this episode, after five months gone, Dino and Dionte talk about the science of sleeping on it. The audio may be shoddy in this episode, but we'll be back with higher quality next week.
Binge Thinking
Hosted by Dino and Dionte (with any special guests that might appear), we talk about anything and everything, from history to questions about modern pop culture. I mean, we might talk medieval warfare one day, motorsport the next. WW2 on one day, and the newest celebrity drama the next. Actually, nevermind, celebrities have way too much drama.
