  • I like the guys but the interviews and shows are low information

    They’re funny and I like the (usually) to hear the back and forth between the two hosts. But, and I hate to say it, the shows are shallow on info and the interviews, if I’m being brutally honest, are really really dumb question wise (and they get some great people on).
