  • Get rid of gen z

    I enjoy this podcast, but the gen z conversations are such a turn off. The homecoming episode was completely annoying to listen to because they complained about it being for alum (which it is), and kept bringing up their needs for funding. It was a total miss to celebrate the joy that homecoming brings.

  • Dumb gen z

    Tbh I used to really like TBG. But that episode about gen z and voting was super weird and disappointing. To say you don’t know if you’re going to vote or not is ridiculous considering your platform. I’m a gen z and don’t feel this way at all. It’s actually common sense who to vote for. The black woman. And you want to waste 48 minutes talking about it.. lost a supporter.
