  • It had become unenjoyable

    Used to love this but I’ve found more recently the episodes have become unstructured, rushed and frantic feeling. Jessie and Lenny talk over each other and their guest often. They miss things the guess has already said and ask questions which cause the guest to have to repeat themselves. The guests often get cut off multiple times mid story and it means we don’t hear the full story or it’s hard to follow due to tangents. I just wish they’d give the guest space to talk freely.

  • Commercial

    Nothing to do with the show, but your commercial for Google Pixel with Gemini is disappointing. If you’re going to endorse something and then prove how great it is, hold the GD device accountable. You asked Gemini one question, and it did not answer your Q. That hurts your credibility and the product’s.

  • Please stop interrupting the guests

    I love the guests but I do find is so frustrating having Lennie interrupt guests mid story with questions again and again that really jams up the flow of the conversations at time.
