  • Mouth is Faster than the Brain

    I’ve tried listening to 3 different (recent) episodes from these guys. I had high hopes, but unfortunately it’s like listening to a person with the attention span of a goldfish. They can’t seem to go more than 2 sentences without making a joke or being sarcastic, which completely breaks any flow of discussion of the topic at hand. They talk like children who spend 6 hours a day on TikTok and can’t focus on anything. Crude humor is fun, but overdoing it is like shoveling manure; it’s good for som... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Six Million Dollar Man, with Lisa Corrao
Q: Lisa, where can everyone find your special?
There is a landing page and links on my website, Lisa Corrao, and it's available on Apple TV and Amazon Prime.
Star Trek: Starfleet Academy
Q: Did you enjoy this as a Star Trek person?
I thought it was okay. The fact that it's still the Alex Kurtzman team and it's still that continuity is disappointing, but I thought it was fine. It's already got a second season.
Severance 2x10: Twenty Percent Polyester
Q: How do you feel at the end of season two? Was it as bad as you've been claiming this whole time?
It's not bad. I just think that the stupidest way to watch a mystery box show is week to week, but overall it has been fun watching it.
Severance 2x06: Head Like A Hole
Q: When they come home, what do you think would happen?
He would ask what the Audi was like and how he performed, especially in ping pong.
Severance 2x06: Head Like A Hole
Q: What do you think that is going to come in this season?
Some characters might be crushed, and others might suspect him like they suspect Helly R as Helena.
