  • Insulting to denture wearers

    Be cautious. This episode is insulting to denture wearers everywhere. Lacks empathy. No more Mary Roach or this podcast.

  • When they focus on their topics and stay away from the woke ideology...and constantly pointing out little idiosyncrasies of their subjects that don't align perfectly with modern woke sensibilities, they're pretty good.

    If they could stay away from the woke culture-vomit, they'd be better. But, like all leftists, they can't help themselves.

    This is my favorite podcast. I never listened to podcasts and this was my first. I have since explored more but this still remains my number one. Robert and Joe make ANYTHING interesting. Dust? Yes. Trees? Yes. Movies I will never watch? Yes! I love this show and I appreciate everything all of these people do!
