  • Tremendous!!!

    What a fun and real podcast, Dana and David are a great combo, these guys are some of my favorite comedic actors. I had no idea they had a podcast until I saw clips of the Brendan Fraser episode on instagram. They are my new favorite podcast. I love podcast in general, typically I pick and choose certain episodes, not on this show, keep em rolling. All are great!

  • Hey, you guys got beef with Colin Farrell?

    Fly on the Wall! An excellent pod. I listen to every episode. I enjoy the smart and funny banter between David and Dana, and every guest invited to the pod. Now, that said, after the recent conversation with Brandon Fraser, it sounds as though someone’s got beef with Colin Farrell. Is that the case? If not, invite the man to the pod — Farrell is a helluva an actor, not a bore, and he’s got more than a few colorful stories to share.
