  • Podcast suffers from dumb liberal commentary

    The hosts cannot help themselves, and make stupid political quips that distract from the podcast.

  • Sure.

    I disagree with a lot of their opinions/taste, and one of the dudes seems like he doesn’t even want to be there… but quality SNL pods with hosts who are actual, knowledgeable fans are hard to come by. So I keep coming back.

  • I mean, no more

    Tapping out. Can’t take an hour plus of non stop starting every sentence with “yeah I mean, yeah yeah, I mean, yeah I mean, I mean...I mean, yeah no, yeah I mean, yeah no, yeah I mean, I mean, yeah yeah, I mean”.

  • Delightful

    These two hosts are true nerds and are a delight to listen to each week. Even the excesses “so” “um” “yeah” don’t bother me. I’m also a sucker for the over all corny vibes of their own jokes. Good times.
