  • I want to hang out with these guys!

    I absolutely love these hosts but i just wish they’d stop inviting Jon Schneider to ruin every episode he participates in with his dumb comments and shallow insight.

  • Weak minded

    Weak minded libs who won’t discuss with fans. Block you as soon as you try to start a conversation about something you don’t agree with. Don’t waste your time. Losers.

  • No one important

    Clearly these two don’t care about the show. I watch Andrew on the Saturday night network and he absolutely hates it and never wants to admit it.

  • Better than some but with similar annoying host habits

    This podcast is definitely better than SNL by the Numbers which features two hosts who can’t speak properly and subject the listener to an annoying tsunami of “like” vocal tics. These hosts have that same very American tic but at least they don’t sound illiterate. They also do the same lazy thing that other SNL podcasts do: repeat the jokes you just heard from a clip they played. This is a passable podcast but it would be better if they knocked off repeating what we just heard and do some more c... more

  • Lazy, Snarky, Tone Deaf

    Claims to be a fan show but they mostly diss on any sketch-host-era they don't get. Two adult stoner-wannabes doing lazy reviews without the minimal research and cultural perspective to understand what they're watching. It's like Jeff Spicoli and Chad doing literary reviews. Guys, if your hate the show so much, don't watch.
