4.8 out of 5 stars from 1.8k ratings
  • Charming and quirky

    This show has filled a hole in my podcast diet since reply all went off the air. Alex and the team captured that lightning in a bottle once again with the same charm and sometimes absurd problems I got with the super tech support episodes.

  • Meh

    The show is just…meh? This show needs to sit down and figure out what its identity is. The questions that he tries to solve are not interesting AT ALL. I got the subscription but recently removed it because it just isn’t worth it for me. Figure it out and I’ll come back.

  • Boring and woke

    Woke brought down reply all and it would do so here, but the tediousness of the episodes will do it first.

Two Birds, One Hundred Stones (UPDATED)
Q: Are you worried about broaching this with her?
Yeah, but I think that it's not going to be... I'm hoping that me saying, you know, what we're doing here, I tell her this story, that might excite her.

Q: Are you planning to continue covering the Villavi?
