Cut down on the “you know” filler. It’s excessive and distracting
Not much more to say than that.
I understand what George is say. Once I saw they were aging Alicent down and making them friends was going to hinder the future story. And what this season…. They kept trying to find a way to get them in seasons together.
Great analysis but the two hosts talk at the same time all the way through the podcast, interrupting each other for no reason and it becomes incredibly annoying. Is it really that hard to speak one at a time?!
The two Daniels constantly talk over each other, never achieve a natural conversation or discussion. They force laughter for things that aren't funny. Hard to listen to.
