  • That being notwithstanding

    I’d never heard someone say “that being notwithstanding” before, but now I can’t get enough of this bizarre phrase.

  • Mediocre show that could be great

    Shivam is likeable, but he is a bad interviewer. His questions are often boring and basic, leading to a lot of interviews being “here is my life story before Magic” which just isn’t interesting most of the time. I do not care where someone went to college or their mundane job before Magic. Often when the guest has finally said something interesting about our game he interrupts for a rant, sometimes even a recycled rant. Mediocre show, but it could be great.
