  • Interruptions Galore

    I have to let this one go. The guys are so funny but they constantly interrupt each other or the guest. I tried listening to a recent episode and the guest could never get a word in edgewise so I just quit listening. And they can be vicious to Sean when it’s just not needed. I love sarcasm but not when it’s at the expense of another.

  • Better Late Than Never

    I feel like I am late to the show as I have just gotten into this podcast this fall. The amazing thing about coming late is that there are so many episodes to go back and listen to that I have a lot to enjoy to catch up on.

    This podcast is hilarious and eye opening on so many levels. 10 of out 10 would recommend

  • AI ads

    I used to enjoy this show, but not enough to pay some corporation for the ad free version. I used to enjoy this show even through the 10 minutes of ads. The recent AI ads leave me no choice but to unsubscribe. I’ll get my chuckles elsewhere.

  • Great interview/terrible ad choice

    I’m totally disappointed in the Meta ads. The AI data centers that they are advertising are some of the most environmentally damaging structures humankind has ever produced. We are all going to have to live with them to some degree regardless, I’m sure, but I thought better of the three of these guys.

    And this is not even mentioning the massive damage this company has caused American mental health.

    Walton was a great interview. I’d give three stars for that, but can’t allow more than a 50% p... more
