  • Ugh not the best

    How many times does the host say “like” per minute? Is there any research or consideration on how to take a conversation? Maybe not going on tangents about your local bodega for 5 minutes? Host repeats once again: yeah, yeah, yeah, like, yeah.

  • So much potential

    Excellent subjects and so much potential but this host is a catastrophe. He can’t form a coherent thought in a timely manner and takes up way too much time on himself..
