  • Why Defend the Indefensible?

    These guys have been making me laugh for over 30 years, but Wow. Supporting Shane’s obvious man-child behavior proves that you are who you surround yourself with. Unfortunately for these guys, they have a platform and continue not to use it in a helpful way. Calling out a misogynist should be low hanging fruit for these guys but for a lot of lazy Gen X entertainers, it’s just easier to pretend it’s 1990 instead of 2026.

  • Slop

    I had high hopes for this but it is a sloppy,lazy chaotic mess of a podcast. Almost insulting to the listener. Heather adds nothing, rather detracts from the show. I wanted to hear a thoughtful discussion about Shane Gillis on SNL and got absolutely nothing but an earful of garbage

  • My Go-To Podcast!

    Love this podcast! It's my favorite escape when I need something light and fun. Dana’s infectious laugh and Spade's sense of humor are a great match. Out of all the podcasts I listen to, this is the one I turn to most often.

  • Half Checked Out?

    David’s girlfriend keeps shouting things in background and it is annoying AF. Dana clearly annoyed by it but David seems half checked out. Lame

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

RE-RELEASE - Eddie Vedder
Q: So people just watch the documentary, everyone watches the documentary, and they'll know if they want to make a donation. Is it there or we can also put it in our intro or talk about it now?
Vedder says the film can stand on its own as an introduction to EB and names EBRP as the organization. He explains that angel donors cover administrative costs so fundraising proceeds can go directly to research.
RE-RELEASE - Eddie Vedder
Q: And do you get nervous before you play?
Vedder says performers can feel nervous and described how live music changes from night to night as artists adapt to the crowd rather than simply repeat a performance.
Doc-tober: Judd Apatow on Norm Macdonald, Maria Bamford, and Paul McCartney
Q: Are crazy people just funnier?
Apatow says he is interested in how people's lives shape their art, but talent is not dependent on being tortured. He describes Maria Bamford as brilliant and creative, and says her life story is as compelling as her comedy.
Doc-tober: Judd Apatow on Norm Macdonald, Maria Bamford, and Paul McCartney
Q: How did you end up hosting that? How did you get there?
Apatow knew director Morgan Neville and had met Paul McCartney over the years. He prepared by studying the film and consulting Beatles fans, which let him ask more relaxed and detailed questions.
RE-RELEASE - Cheri Oteri pt. 2
Q: How often did this happen? Was it every day? Was it twice a week? Did you have siblings? And were they in on it?
Oteri says her family did not really know about her elaborate imagined scenes, and that she was largely in her own world as a child.
