  • Live show

    Listening to Larry and Jerry was awesome (at their recent live show) WHEN they were given a chance to talk, which wasn’t much because Ari kept interrupting them. It was quite annoying and rude. I don’t think Ari has the interviewing skills needed to be a host or have a podcast for that matter!

  • An Embarrassment

    “One of the worst live experiences I’ve had since living in Los Angeles.”

    Appreciate Jerry and Larry trying to save the night, but Ari’s arrogance, poor interviewing skills, and inability to read the room made for a tough watch. Next time, let your legendary guests get a word in edgewise.

  • Live show was meh

    The live show with L.D. and Seinfeld was pretty cringe. Nothing to see here. Try Smartless instead?
