wow, it’s just so good. I feel like I know the three of you. Your banter is spot on. You cheer me up on the hard days. I’m available anytime too when you want me on the show. 😂 Cheers from Ireland. Please some here for a live show. In Cork though. I’ll book the venue. 👌
more episodes with Brian cox please, you didn’t even ask him about movies, I believe he helped with the science behind interstellar, get him back on asap. Best episode so far.
Jason, stop prattling on. It’s so embarrassing. Why talk for so long about nothing when you have a guest who is actually interesting.
The ego levels are cosmic.
Will Arnett, don’t listen to the haters. You are crushing it; you know you are, your friends know you are and the haters that are picking on you are identifying something they don’t like in themselves and ascribing it to you on some weird shallow level. And for the love of god, stop reading these reviews. Except this one of course.
Comedy gold; the lot of you.
Five stars because Will knows how to pronounce Reese’s. Minus 1 star because Jason butchers it.
