What are we beefin' about today? From the Poor Man's Media family of podcasts, Ryan McGowan shares beefs, talks about current events and the news, and punctuates his takes with quotes from Seinfeld, The Office, How I Met Your Mother, Parks and Recreation, and The Good Place, among others. You pay for "15 minutes of lame", but Ryan always delivers more than that. (Whether it's more minutes or more lameness is to be determined, however.)
