We also have another previous guest pop in to discuss their take on fast food delivery.

Makes you feel good about your life

I look forward to this pod every week because it just makes me feel good. It’s somehow self reflective/deep, but also fun and light-hearted simultaneously. Waelti is brutally honest and vulnerable, which takes balls and inspires me to be the same. Life is tough. Vulnerability is strength. Poop stories are funny.

5 Stars

I’ve been a listening from the beginning and the banter between Chris and Steven never gets old. The mix of guests that range from comedians to friends to Steve’s dad keeps it interesting. Chris sounds happier to be alive as of late, I think I’m slowly becoming a Waeltaholic!

If you don’t smash Rachel by this weekend, I’m becoming a Steve-head again.
