  • Just not like they used to be

    Was an OG die hard fan, but have to be honest - not as good as they used to be. When A listers come on, it’s just a bit awkward. Same when it’s people you’ve never heard of. Regardless of guests, I’d say it just seems too cringe / crude when it’s not brought back to food / food mems.

  • Such a shame

    Used to love this but James gloating and laughing about being so loaded was so stand out. What an arrogant man.

  • Funny? Mostly guest dependent.

    Usually gives a good chuckle. Can’t understand people complaining about ads, you can bloody skip them.
