Share
A story about Sam Parr and Lance Armstrong bonding over true crime podcasts.
Shaan Puri recalls a podcast episode from five years ago when Lance Armstrong unexpectedly visited their office during a recording.
"It was an episode where Lance Armstrong popped by the office and literally popped into the podcast while we were recording. You and Lance Armstrong were talking about your favorite type of podcast, and you both love true crime. You guys were geeking out about true crime - Sam and Lance Armstrong, the greatest cyclist of all time."
Sam confirms this memory: "Yeah, like 'What do you like to get scared by?' That's the conversation exactly."
