Whatever really happened to dudes calling each other best friends? Dave and Jon grew up in the 80's in New Jersey and they did everything together...they were the quintessential "best friends" until they became teenagers and Dave moved away. Fast forward to today, and these two 40-somethings reconnected and decided to not only be "besties" again but to put on a podcast and share their reunion with anyone who will listen. Welcome, to Fat, Dumb, and Happy. This podcast is about two best friends reconnecting, reminiscing, and sharing some laughs about everything from 80's nostalgia, food, entertainment, and hilarious social situations. It's called Fat, Dumb, and Happy because Dave & Jon like to eat, learn, and laugh together. We plan to have a Special Guest Expert on every episode, and one who is on regularly is Dave's hilarious big brother, Ben Thomander! We have a blast and hope you do too. Thanks for listening and please subscribe! Email us at FDHpod@gmail.com to ask questions, offer suggestions, or to be on a future episode as a guest expert - you tell us the topic!
