Besties Intent
Besties Intent is a positive approach variety podcast show proudly brought to your sweet listening ears by Erik and Ryan. Who are we? We are best friends who have loved, laughed, and surely eaten our share of shit. During our show, we shamelessly share our informed opinions with the best intentions in mind. We speak about issues of the present day and others that never seem to go away both for us and the rest of humanity. But really, who are we? Did we discover a new plant species? Are we world-recognized authors, tech geniuses, or business moguls? Are either of us in pursuit of becoming America’s next great physician? No, we aren’t, we haven’t, and maybe we never will. But our appreciation for our universe and the particles that make us, enable our small chance of reality to be marvelous. So let’s enjoy our glimpses together! Please, everyone, join us for a good time. Hopefully, you learn something about yourself, and about humanity, along the way.
