  • I still like Dark Poutine

    But Mathew’s smug mansplaining interjections make us want to skip the eps more often than not these days. Still love Mike!

  • Not my favourite

    I used to enjoy this podcast but it became less about facts and more personal views that turned me off. Granted they express in their opening line that they express personal opinions which I respect. I am happy for their successful podcast, it’s just no longer for me.
