  • I love whatever is wrong with Gianmarco Soresi

    I love this podcast, keep it up! Russel seems like that friend in middle school that’s the new kid and probably had a very normal life until he met Gianmarco and just destroyed whatever innocence was left in him, love you guys so much, so hilarious!

  • I would be rich…

    …if I had a nickel for every time Gianmarco talks over Russell or the guest. Like in Matteo Lane’s episode, I’d rather have heard from everyone but Gianmarco for a lot of the time. Several moments when the conversation was going in interesting directions before he sabotaged it with his interruptions.
