Andy has full-on Trump Derangement Syndrome. Pathetic how he goes way out of his way to go on Trump rant that has nothing to do with the shows being discussed. No one listens to this for your political views. Just stick to the shows please (except, of course, True Detective Season 1 - the defining review of his career) because we know he ain’t getting another shot at actually creating one after Briarpatch barely made it to air!
Who is cutting the ads in? They should be fired if it isn’t AI. Try to find a place where there’s a lull, or topic change, instead of in the middle of a sentence. Just a suggestion.

I wish Andy would stop complaining all the time about everything. Please just stick to the topics. Chris puts his complaints about politics or the Warner Bros. merger into some context but Andy blathers on any chance he can get and it’s getting worse. Poor Andy even complained several times about recording on MLK day. Enough, please.
I never miss an episode even if I skip parts about shows I don’t follow or have an interest in. A very good podcast to listen to if you like to stay in touch with the zeitgeist.
