  • This show was ok...

    For a long time, this show was just a safe, calm way to hear some high level headlines and weird news. The show was ok, until the episode on 9/8/2025. Just about this entire episode, plus some random moments in the past, made me wonder if even they believe what they're saying. So sad guys.

  • Great Format

    This is one of my favorite podcasts. The hosts discuss a myriad of topics and they feed off each other to keep the discussion going. The segments are the right length, some podcasts go for time and not quality content. The adds are a little more frequent than others and are a little close together.
