  • Another Spoiled Influencer Podcast

    Loved Jesse and Dodger in the past, but it’s pretty clear now that they’re now coasting along as industry shills. Their latest AI discussion where they both resign themselves into playing AI slop cause “companies are making it so what are we going to do” is maddening to listen to, especially knowing the games these two have built their careers on. Hope selling your dignity was worth it

  • More of the lovable duo

    Long time fan of both creators and just happy to have a review show featuring their opinions again each week . The only downside is that the episodes are usually under 2 hrs and I just want more recommendations, reviews, and yuks.
