  • Overall ok but two hosts can be annoying

    One host is very good. One host is ok, but often high. One host is painful to listen to—every single comment is the same: “I mean, I’m like, it’s bad. But also, I don’t know, maybe it’s good too. You know? It’s hard. Also, like, I can’t think. Who know? Hahaha. So, yeah, what I’m saying is, I don’t know. I didn’t watch it so I’m just going on what you said. So like, yeah, it’s whatever. Hahahaha.”
