  • Keep Patreon on Patreon please

    Half the time I don’t agree with G&R which is fine tis’ life, I don’t subscribe to the Patreon-it’s all their politics but then they put clips of them here on my feed, the ranting is getting out of hand and hard to ignore. 5 minute rant here and there fine but 20 minutes, yikes. G&R are funny and do great interviews that aren’t boring, they are personal and always interesting. Would be 4 stars if the political Patreons weren’t pushed on me so much.

  • Amazing pod

    Love Gianmarco and Russell individually and together. They have something special going on and I appreciate their insightful and nuanced takes on politics and culture. It’s clear they both have a lot of integrity, are willing to be self-critical, and make an effort to bring on a diverse range of guests. I’m sorry for that 1-star review I left previously…that was a reflection of me and my personal exasperations, not the pod or either co-host.
