  • MAGA Kristina

    I’ve always wanted Kristina to speak less, but now that she’s comfortable enough to go full MAGA on the show it’s unlistenable

  • Pretentious gatekeeping in the guise of a podcast

    A pretentious circle jerk each week in the guise of a sports card show where two guys pontificate about the hobby in an attempt to protect the value of the three players they collect by cherry picking stats each week. A girl in the background occasionally chimes in asking if someone found a rare Maxi Kleber card for her.
