VAULT 03 - Top of the Decade 2010s
ADVISORY: This podcast was recorded about six years ago, back in January 2020, when Dan and Adam were younger, dumber, and significantly less concerned about offending good people.

Consider it a time capsule, not a mission statement.
Originally recorded in the early days of 2020, this long-lost conversation resurfaces from the VAULT. Dan and Adam count down their personal "Top of the Decade" picks for the 2010s, including Movies, TV, and...
