    If you like cats, dogs, music and ice cream, you’re in the right place. These two foodies tickle my earholes and humble me with their vast knowledge of the entertainment world, all while being cooler than any of us will ever be. When the aliens come they should be our ambassadors.

  • A shadow of its formal self

    As a long time double threat listener, this show is nothing like it used to be. Brett was as essential to the show as Tom and Julie, and without him there, Tom and Julie follow every bad thought down to the bottom of each rabbit hole. Carson doesn’t have the gravitas to rein these two in. Brett was the perfect voice of reason, and he sorely missed.
