Love this podcast but i miss him, some of the other guests are funny luckily
If I could give this zero stars, I would.
The audacity the ego the humanity of this host to make a show about restaurants that most of us have visited at one time or another to discuss its history and whether its still worth participating with our presence how dare you sir with entertaining shows that I enjoy, no one and I mean no one tells me what I should like but you sir help me make that choice 5 stars!
I’m offended as a costumer of this show. The “manager” told me to give this 5 stars! How impulsive! If I could give this zero stars I would
Why would I want a second version of my least-favorite podcast
