- What’s up with the spoilers
I used to somewhat like this show but this season I find myself rage closing the podcast and will probably stop downloading. This jerk Daniel Roman just casually drops spoilers and or pertinent upcoming info like it’s the thing to do. No warning or anything. Mark is great and is very careful not to and even sometimes tries to head Daniel off at the pass. STOP IT!!!

Please stop with all the spoilers!!!

Cut down on the “you know” filler. It’s excessive and distracting
Update: and the “like” filler too, it makes you sounds like a preteen
