Meet Nick and Daniel, co-hosts of "Big Belly 'Pats", a podcast born from their unexpected meeting in China in 2020. Nick, the chill and forever-late American, and Daniel, the hyper-organized South African with an undying love for rugby, create a dynamic duo that's anything but conventional. Their friendship, a delightful blend of opposites, takes center stage in each episode as they delve into the world of nerds, share amusing tales, and navigate the challenges of life abroad. Tune in for a unique journey that transcends contrasts and promises entertainment and enlightenment in equal measure!
