Letterman Jackets, Purple Flavor & Dairy Products
Sep 27, 20261h 20m
Ped & Burk are back and fired up for this one! This weather may end Adam. The boys discuss letterman’s jackets, thrifting, the art of laughing at yourself, not forcing what you think is “cool” on people, and millennial fashion. Celebrities need to chill in the podcast game. Ryan has come up with the next big gatorade flavor, and the flavor purple? In the meat, Mm!, the boys draft their best dairy items! Maybe the most neck ‘n neck draft we’ve ever done. We close the show with some test taking behind tri-fold dividers. Hut Hut! Love y’all.

Movies We HAVEN’T Seen and Merri-Go-Round Madness
Sep 20, 20261h 16m
In light of the prison camp conversation recently, boys break down the infamous Stanford Prison Experiment, discuss Netflix bringing it back, and the intensity of social experiments. Adam poses a hypothetical food question. Do kids today even watch ESPN/Sportscenter? The tik tok moms are at it again with a RIDICULOUS new trend. The meat, Mm!, is a Mt Rushmore of movies that people can’t believe we haven’t seen. We close the show with a visit to the iconic, injury ridden, 90s playground. Hut Hut! Love y’all.

The Great Outdoors and School Lunch Jamboree!
Sep 13, 20261h 29m
The boys welcome on Big E, Jared in Wisconsin! We open the show chopping it up about prison life, because obviously we’d know. Then Adam has Jared recap the legendary Wisconsin fishing season, golf season, and talk about opening weekend duck season! The guys get hyped for pheasant season before this week’s perfect song. In this week’s Meat, Mm!, Big E brings us a school lunch themed game of Smash or Pass before we all list our Mt Rushmore of high school lunches back in the day. Millennials had epic meals! Hut Hut! Love y’all.

Risky Teen Fashion Choices & Movie Couples Draft!
Sep 6, 202656 min
The Macho Boys, Ped & Burk are fired up for this episode! Adam can’t believe the omission he made from the Red Things draft. Sportscenter top 10 plays are still legit and the boys reminisce on peak Sportscenter days. The fellas discuss their back-to-school fashion and the riskiest fashion choices they ever made in school. In the meat, Mm!, of the episode, we draft rosters of all-time movie couples! Unreal draft. We close the show with the next big ASMR trend thanks to an iconic 90s fad. Hut Hut! Love y’all.

Sandwich Mt Rushmore & Draft of Red Things!
Aug 30, 20261h 12m
Adam kicks off the episode with a “Where Are They Now” segment of an iconic 90s character! With school back in session and kids bringing their lunch, the boys bring their Mount Rushmore of sandwiches. Burk has some half baked ideas to get off his chest and we end the intro with a CLASSIC perfect song! In the meat, Mm!, of the episode, is a draft of things that are red. We draft VERY different lists. Who ya got?! We close the show by getting together with friends to look through all of our kodak camera pics. Hut Hut! Love y’all.

FAQs

Every question we get asked before
someone starts their trial.

If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.

What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?

Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.

How do agency tiers work?

Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.

What is a talent profile?

A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.

Can I switch plans later?

Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.

Do you offer a free trial?

Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.

What happens if I cancel?

You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.

Is the 20% annual discount automatic?

Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.

What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?

That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
