    This is my favorite podcast. It keeps my mind off the grueling rush hour traffic and minimizes my road rage.

    They’re all funny and insightful.

    What happened to the original theme song? The new one sounds like a Chevy commercial.

  • Love this podcast!

    This podcast is so entertaining for me, I love the feedback and different perspectives especially because it’s mostly unbiased. Tony Spark I feel could dial it back like 10 notches. He constantly feels the need to interrupt others to make his point heard, he’s really loud and talks super fast. A lot of the time I get anxiety listening to him and have to skip over his feedback.

  • Love the show but the editing needs some work

    First off I want to say I absolutely love the show, it is one of my favorite podcasts ever, I use the Ascon rating system myself all the time! But recently the edits have been not so great, it feels like the transitions between stories have been random, sometimes cutting Dusty or Candy off mid thought, and episodes ending randomly with no outro. Just some constructive criticism!
