  • Could have been good, I'll never know

    Was super pumped to hear about Ed Gein but the co-host is BEYOND annoying-constant interrupting and crude for no reason. I stuck with it up to the part about Augustine when they started to talk about blowjobs.

    Like seriously? Know your audience guys.

  • Constant Interrupting

    So wish I could get through the Ed Gein story but wow! All the interrupting from on of the hosts and constant commentary, the other host could barely get through the story. Had to shut it off.
