  • Aural torture

    What is the deal with these hosts? I gave it about 10 minutes before having to shut down and unfollow. They’re just rehashing common info that has already been discussed for years.

    Their asides are far from clever, and the mispronunciation of basic words and names is painful. And btw, it’s extremely creepy to talk about teenagers as ‘so hot’.
