Reviews

4.7 out of 5 stars from 79 ratings

great content, juvenile banter
perhaps the scripted and painful banter between the two co-hosts will appeal to some listeners, but it is sometimes cringe-worthy and always irritating. i listen anyway, because the content of the show is terrific. but the podcast could be so much better if the hosts did not try to be cute.
