  • 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.

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