I stormed out of my own shower when I heard some youth telling me these dumb brothers on this season were compelling. Make her watch the voltaggio season. She asked, does it matter who wins, is this one of Andy’s daughters??? Is this a nepo situation? Where is Chris? Did you think you could sneak this past the listeners?

The hosts are tediously boring and the content is dry and tired.

Please watch Tom Hollander play Truman Capote in the Hulu series Feud. Excellent accent.
Apple Podcasts5Mc MergusUnited States23 days ago - Unlistenable
These weirdos cover euphoria but not not DTF? Omg. These two are like a couple of old, out of touch Brooklyn hipsters sitting in a coffee shop talking loud so people think they are cool. Yuck.
Apple Podcasts1YupOkayUnited Statesa month ago - Andy Needs Help
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!
