  • Tired of Doom Complaining

    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.

  • Fun and full of good stuff

    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.

    Why so awful lately with politics???? What a bummer, you used to just talk about what the show is supposed to be about - television. I came here to escape from the ugliness. Another Ringer unsubscribe :(
