  • CSNY DEJA VU

    Featured on the Broken Record podcast this week so I listened. Dude is annoying in my opinion and talks too much vs guest. It’s Jeff Daniels let him speak, who cares about his longest shot scene we want to hear what he says about CSNY. Even he didn’t want to answer those dumb questions.

  • Do your homework

    Have never heard of or listened to your podcast. Don’t think I will based on the description of the Jeff Daniels episode. Crosby, Stills and Nash, as a trio, did 4 studio albums after Deja Vu. Sloppy fact-checking on your part. I have been a music collector for 53 years. There’s this amazing thing they have now called the internet. Do your homework. Thanks for

    letting me vent.

  • Gross Rambling

    Took 30 minutes to even begin discussing the album in question. Disgusting rambling and offensive “humor” on way to a discussion where they actually have to look things up to cover the material. Don’t waste your time.

137 - The Replacements - Tim - Maura Tierney
Q: Was there any moment where it was like, maybe it was, you know, as you're starting off as an actor in the first role that made you go like, whoa, like this is.
Yeah, for sure. Because I, you know, news radio is a show I loved. But it was, you know, we didn't get that great ratings. You know, we were a culty type thing, but they moved us around all the time. But the next show I did was ER, and I swear, the night after my first episode of ER aired, because at that time, like thirty five million people were watching that show. The next day, people were recognizing me in the street.
