  • Rambling

    So many people praise this podcast but I don’t get it. I feel like they never get to the point or the actual content they say the episode is about. It’s a meandering conversation and it’s jarring when the episodes end because they barely said anything substantial.

  • Get to the point

    They just repeat and repeat and repeat themselves, then double down on what they repeated and then maybe finally move on to the next part? It’s just painful to listen to, couldn’t get through two episodes.

  • Insufferable hosts

    I'm eight minutes into my first episode, and I've unfollowed the series. I cannot listen to those two morons say the same thing again and again and again. Their voices even, are unbearable, particularly one of them, it's scraggly and I'd rather listen to nails on a blackboard
