  • BORING!!!!!

    I listened to the first 3 minutes of an episode, Danny sounds bored and has no energy in his voice. Just so monotoned. This podcast is one of the worst I’ve ever listened to. Worse the ones with the girls who think they funny and talk about drinking. Dude if your not interested in doing a podcast then just don’t do it, I listened to the whole episode and even the chick sounds just as bad as you. I hate kinda funny due to their politics but I listen to them cause it’s much more entertaining.

  • Boring now days

    I feel like this podcast is boring now days, all they do is fight and moan about one another. They say it’s joking but it’s pretty annoying to hear. Pete and Paris already said they are only PC guys this next gen so why are they even doing a video game podcast? Doesn’t make sense...if they are not into console just make a PC podcast! Also they always have to throw in the democratic and liberal views into the podcast...feel that the whole crew is disbanded and it’s random now days. Deleted from m... more
