You might listen to this. Or to something else. If only they had a hat
I’ve heard so many ads for this show I can’t help but leave a review. It’s so annoying to have an ad for this stupid show about rich peoples first world problems come on as I’m listening to news podcasts, trying to stay informed on things that actually matter.
Turns in for the 8/3 show and dipped out after numerous “jokes” about someone eating din-din. My 9 yr old nephew cracks better better jokes unscripted around the dinner, yeah folks that’s right, table.
The dumbest people I have ever heard. The lack of awareness they have when the joke isn’t working kills the show. I’ll never get this time back….. if you love incomplete thoughts and listening to the hosts mumble back and forth… this is home!
I’m not sure if the rudeness from the hosts is supposed to be funny, but I didn’t find it very entertaining.

This show blends insider entertainment industry banter with outrageous, high-energy conversations and guest-driven storytelling. Episodes frequently center on showbiz mechanics, promotional stunts, and meta-commentary about Hollywood culture, often weaving in cross-media promos, fictional pitches, and improvisational humor. A notable strength is the seamless mix of long-running in-jokes with candid industry insights, making it both entertaining for fans and informative for potential guests or sponsors seeking a behind-the-scenes perspective. The format leans into guest-driven discussions with a playful, chaotic energy, plus occasional meta-merits about hosting itself that set it apart from typical interview shows.
