Description
Corey Bell and Van Santos have been friends for over 15 years. After all those years of weekly phone calls, they decided to start recording their talks. Talkin BS (Bell/Santos) is the product of those phone calls. Corey and Van discuss a variety of topics from sports to food to pup-culture.
Certain themes have been born out of the process. Here are a few:
1) A Wave starts with a Ripple. Be the Ripple for positive change.
2) Chime Time: If you hear a chime in the middle of an episode, it's time to take a drink.
3) When in doubt, apply the Sliding Scale to the situation.
