  • Drew is GOATED

    1st: You guys (and gal) are incredibly insightful and funny, my first listen to following the episode. Ashley (sorry if wrong spelling) you’re hilarious - keep it up.

    Drew is an amazing guest. He is well spoken, has great (and spicy) takes, and isn’t afraid to speak his mind and call out BS from some of the cast. Keep bringing back guests who aren’t worried if they are going to be cast on the next HBO drama or want to be involved in Survivor 58: Battle of the Suck Ups

  • Hate to say this

     Ashley seems like a crazy smart, perceptive, young lady, but I’m going to be honest we don’t need her takes. And the look on y’all’s face when she weighes in. Again, I think she is an amazing person but her survivor takes are mundane.

  • A+ exit interviews

    Really enjoying this seasons coverage! Love that you go in order of the episode so you don’t miss anything!

    Obsessed with the debrief section during the exit interviews. A+++

    One note: please refer to women as women and not girls. (For those rolling their eyes - you would never call Jonathan or Joe a boy - so don’t call Cirie or Chrissy girls.

  • LOUD ENOUGH TO READ!!!!!

    By far the best survivor content out there, and there’s a lot!

    The trifecta of Tyson Aisling and Riley are a home run every episode.
