In the past few years, podcasts have become incredibly popular. Like really popular. You've probably even heard someone say, "Oh yea, I would have such a great podcast" or "Yea, me and my friends would have the best show". Although, they never actually do it. Except for two friends from Milwaukee. They started a podcast about three years ago and now reach millions of people.Introducing the Crash Dummies Podcast. It's hosted by longtime friends Michael Esiobu and Patrick Johnson. They talk about current events and random topics. In three years, they have filmed 172 episodes and have gained more than 2 million followers across Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube.There was a point where we were talking to no one, and now were talking to millions of people," Michael Esiobu said. The two film inside a Milwaukee studio. As far as podcast setups go, it's not fancy. And that probably helps their case. The Crash Dummies Podcast is all about being authentic, genuine, and impromptu. It's not overly produced and that's the point.I think about 99% of the time I dont know what his topics are and thats what we like. Ill hide something from him. Hell hide something from me, and then hell like in the spur of the moment hell be like Ive got a question for you," Patrick Johnson said.They are just two friends cracking jokes, taking viewer calls, and not taking things too seriously.If you watch us with a guest, I guarantee you leave that podcast knowing little about that guests personal life," Johnson said.Watch to see what makes the Crash Dummies Podcast so special... The Milwaukee friends behind the Crash Dummies podcastThats why so many watch and listen every week. They mess around. They invite viewers to call and they roast them. They pick a few topics and dive into them whether they know a lot about them or not. In fact, they prefer not to do a whole bunch of research first."I think sometimes it's more fun for us when we don't actually Google everything, and we're just going off the top of our head," Esiobu said.As the show continues to grow, they want to have more guests. Also, Johnson and Esiobu want to take the podcast on the road and host live shows.Viewer calls are a big part of the show. Every episode features a few different calls from fans. They believe in-person interaction would be even more entertaining."We don't really make hard-cuts edits on our YouTube. We just let (the show) flow, and people still enjoy that. So I know that if they enjoy that through a screen, it will be 10 times better live," Johnson said.Its that unpredictability and humor thats caused millions to tune in and will hopefully help them sell out theaters nationwide.
