  • It was a pretty good show and overall a fun, unique idea for a podcast. Unfortunately everyone except Jay doesn't want to do the show anymore so they go off on constant tangents about coffee and other shows. That's in combination with pearl clutching at how "offensive" it was and constantly saying "you couldn't do that anymore".

    Joe is the worst and a bad person. His whole role is acting better than everyone else and making pedophelia jokes. He is vile!

  • It's usually a pretty good show and overall a fun, unique idea for a podcast. Unfortunately one of the hosts(I think it's Joe) is a jerk that hates everything and is always too cool for school. The other hosts are fun as long as it's a show made after about 2005. Anything before that, the episode is mostly pearl clutching at how "offensive" it was and constantly saying "you couldn't do that anymore".

    Jay(the main host) is usually pretty great on keeping them on topic.
