  • Replays of a tired era

    Currently replaying episodes recorded during 2020. Spend a lot of time criticizing people who didn’t believe in prolonged mask mandates and trash on politicians they don’t agree with. Not a rewatch just a platform for tired actors to voice political extremism.

Zach and Donald have great chemistry, their crew is a delight, and the guest stars have been great. My only feedback is that it gets randomly super loud when Donald breaks out his Oprah impression or starts singing. Very entertaining, Donald, but maybe ask the sound engineer to do something to steady the aud... more
