  • No thanks

    This is like a kid on Christmas who got a noise machine and is trying to muse every single sound at the same time. Absolutely annoying and hard to even listen to what little food talk goes on

  • Content is great

    The horns and buzzers used for filler are very annoying. I would prefer a shorter show than the excruciating horns and buzzers.

  • Show overall is just not good.

    From the cheesy PowerPoint sounds to the non stop talking about nothing I can’t take this show. You get a sliver of info then the rest is just filler. I tried to give it a go multiple times. I don’t know how Malcom and others do this show. I’ll stick to their podcasts. Atleast we get information there.

  • Ridiculous

    How anyone can listen to this is beyond me. The sound effects, yelling and screaming is ridiculous.
