  • New Food Holiday

    I love the idea of you and Hunter Lewis creating a no turkey new food holiday. Both Matt and Aliza are absolutely amazing. I’d do want to say that I very much appreciated the care Matt took with Swamp Dogg in that interview. The compassion was noted and made my heart smile. I love this show!

  • Cringey hosts

    I agree with the other reviewer. The guests and their stories are always interesting but I find both hosts always trying to show off like oh I know what you’re talking about AND MORE. The hosts tend to ramble with random anecdotes and use a lot of filler words. Too cringey, and have to unsubscribe.
