  • Funny

    This is genuinely the funniest podcast I have ever come across. I’m working my way back through all the earlier episodes, and the existential dread I have for when I run out of episodes and am left with just one new one per week is rivaled only by the knowledge that I and everyone I know will be dead one day.

  • 5 Stars For Heath's Laugh

    There is nothing lamer than a morning zoo show where the deejays pretend to laugh at each other. There is nothing funnier than a group of really funny people who can't help laughing at each other.

    And you get a deep dive into a Wikipedia rabbit trail besides.

    You had me at butchering the intro.

  • The only thing more annoying than Ross Douthat is listening to someone do an impression of him

    Thought the two Ross Douthat op ed episode was entertaining, and I almost always relish an opportunity to trash his drivel. Having said that, the host’s impression of him got real old real fast, to the point where I had to stop listening. Usually this pod is pretty good, but when the horse is dead, let it rest in peace.
