  • OMG, host talks about 65% too much

    It’s not even a natural flowing conversation. Host seems to just wait for his guest to finish talking so he can take his turn. Guest speaks for :30. Host goes for :100, saying things redundantly which doesn’t advance the narrative.

  • Unbearable

    Couldn’t even make it through one full episode because of the host’s constant interrupting of the guest who is trying to tell his life story. Why can’t you just let your guest speak?
