  • Light beer drinkers trying to talk about bourbon.

    Looked for a podcast that would breakdown episodes and themes of Mad Men and lasted an hour into the first episode. Not for me. Cheers. đŸ„ƒ

  • Equally as funny as the Sopranos

    I have listened to this podcast as many times as I have watched the sopranos. I cry laugh during Matt’s girl talk mashups. I love the bumpers, the recaps
the big mouth Billy bass
so hilarious.

    Have to watch the Wire, and Mad Men so I can listen to all of the other episodes these guys have put out.

    Solid B+.
