  • Some Good Information

    I’m very interested in dogs so I’ve listened to most of the episodes. And while I’ve learned a couple things, the host is trying so hard to sound like a cool bro that it becomes hard to endure. He’s often very scattered, and he laughs at super inappropriate things— A LOT. For instance, he’ll relate some horrific incident from the civil war, and giggle like a twelve year old.
