The hosts of the podcast, including Lil Dicky and Kristin Batalucco, agreed that they are just a group of regular guys in a world of extraordinary talents.
The conversation touched on the idea that some men in the industry are known for their exceptional abilities, like Benson Boone's backflip skills.
