  • You two are the best

    Whenever my wife sees me laughing she asks “are you listening to your girls again?”The answer, of course, is always an affirmative.

  • Way Too Long

    I used to really love this podcast, but it’s ballooned to a ridiculous length. There’s no need for a 4 HOUR podcast on a 30-minute show. Brevity is the soul of wit, ladies. My patience is running thin, and I am very close to unsubscribing.

  • SPOILERS for unrelated shows

    During a GoT/Dunk & Egg episode, one host dropped a bunch of spoilers for the current season of Industry. Acknowledged the off topic conversation as it happened, and no one thought to edit it out in post? what? accidental spoilers across the universe of the show being discussed is one thing, but this was totally out of left field, about an unrelated show currently airing - and frankly unprofessional for a show operating at this level.
