Absurd Arguments
Hello and welcome to Absurd Arguments! We are two friends who like to joke about nonsensical things, so we decided to make a podcast. Join us every other Thursday as we tackle life's most irreverent arguments like “are cats better pets than dogs” or “which came first, the chicken or the egg.” Stay tuned to see what absurdity we argue about next!
