  • One year changed everything

    It’s just not funny anymore. The vibe changed from curated comedy show to just dudes with mics and opinions. Ben and Tommy just refuse to find new games outside their comfort zone, let alone try them. The offshoot pods are getting worse while also clogging the feed. And worst of all every guest feels like they were just told before recording “no pressure, but we are counting on you”
