About this listen

In a world where common sense feels like a superpower…

Longtime friends David and Greg team up to become the Common Sense Super Heroes — at least in podcast form.

Let’s be honest: everyone has a podcast now. And yeah… a lot of them miss the mark. So David and Greg decided to do one too — not claiming to have all the answers, just bringing something that’s in short supply these days: common sense.

From politics and sports to everyday life, nothing is off-limits. Expect honest takes, real conversations, a little humor, and a lot of perspective.

Because what’s clearly missing today is… common sense.

So suit up and tune in.

Common sense is back.
