  • Inaccuracies

    You all get a lot of things wrong most notably in your Luke Perry episode. His son’s name is Jack and 8 Seconds was from 1994. He was on 90210 at the time. Amazing film. Amazing man. Do better. ETA George Wendt didn’t portray Ditka in his SNL “Da Bears” skits. You guys gets some basic info wrong and show you’re not fans or respectful of those who are when you get stuff wrong

  • Good podcast,but as with most podcasts, the music is irritating .I am sure that if individuals wanted to listen to music,they would do so,not listen to podcasts, and music adds nothing but irritation.Nonetheless episodes are good and entertaining despite the subject matter.
