  • nonsense

    show was fine when it started as an SNL discussion, but they have rub out of content, and recent episodes are conversations of nonsense.Spade is an is an unaware idiot. audio quality is poor,because of this. I turned it off. it is easy to fix, get some professional help or outsource to a decent pod studio like team coco.
